Ok so now for the big reveal here is my version of the kranskekake.

Quite pleased with the outcome even though the icing was a bit runny.

must dash, a New Year’s Eve party to get ready for. Happy New Year to everyone xxx

December pinaddicts challenge part 1

I can’t believe that tomorrow is New Year’s Eve. I hope everyone had a good Christmas. I was very lucky and got several crafty/sewing presents which I will write about in the new year. Where has this year gone. So much for my intentions to make more of this blog and post more often. Perhaps it will be a New Years resolution to make it a bit more interesting.Anyway it is now going to be a mad dash to get my pin addicts entry in before closing.

here is a picture of what I am going to attempt to make.

the recipe is quite simple

450g ground almonds

450g icing sugar

4 egg whites

Mix all ingredients together and then heat through in a pan until hot. Remove from the heat and place the dough in cling film in the fridge overnight.

next day roll the dough into rings to fill the 18 circles on the tin moulds. Bake for about 12 mins until golden.

I guess you could do the rings freehand if you don’t have the tin, but I got mine in the sale from Lakeland, one of my favourite non sewing shops! Below is the 18 rings ready to be assembled tomorrow. I will post again with hopefully a photo of the finished article if it isn’t a complete disaster.
