Happy Sunday! I tried something new today and thought it turned out really pretty. 3 dimensional tulips made with art palettes (think skinny, weirdly shaped spatulas). I love how each flower is unique just as it would be in nature. I felt so artsy!

The late night dipping of the Lebkuchen has begun! 2 tables like this for the next 5 nights! These German, soft gingerbread cookies are quite the process. They are actually baked about a month ahead of time and then allowed to rest so the flavor and texture can continue to develop. They get glazed and bagged the week of Christkindlmarket Des Moines- the festivities start on Thursday evening! We will also have Pfeffernuss , Springerle, Spritz, Anise Candy, sentimental heart and frosted heart gingerbread, cupcakes and even a few loaves of Stollen. Don’t know what these things are??? Come visit us at the Christkindlmarket Des Moines 2023 and we’ll happily tell you all about them.😊Please consider sharing this post to help spread the word about this wonderful, FREE, festive event right here in central Iowa.

Cakes going to the cake auction TONIGHT at The Beacon Des Moines for their annual cake gala that benefits women in the Des Moines area. I’m proud to be able to make a contribution to this worthy cause. The Dissent cake is a 10” white almond cake with white buttercream. The Pumpkin cake is an 8” pumpkin spice cake with cream cheese buttercream. Both will be delicious!
