Tiny mint spies and Flatternusse

Oh, ok, so I never actually wrote this blog post, that's a bit annoying

I bought some Lakeland bakeware before Christmas and made some really cute little mince pies and some really rubbish pfeffernusse (my eggs were old and they ended up really flat - I didn't even bother to ice them)

That's about as interesting as it gets, so here's a couple of pictures

No, those ones are the good ones from last year... See how they're nice and bulbous? Well, that didn't happen this time

These ones are the flat rubbish ones...

 And those are the beautiful little mint spies, well, the ones that made it to get photographed! That's a 24-hole tin and I had to make more :) great piece of kit from Lakeland though.

Owl Biscuits

Two Blogs in one day? What madness is this??
Yes, well, I dunno, I just saw the owl biscuits photo when I was uploading my crochet photos and I just wanted to show you these guys

I baked them for my friend Emi for her birthday. She loves owls and I was visiting her home for dinner a few days after her birthday, a few of them were a bit overdone and I broke the first few I took out of the oven through careless handling so I was lucky enough to be able to profit slightly from my carelessness and munched the substandard ones myself!

The recipe is from here Halloween hoot owl biscuits
