Christmas Cookies - Spritzgebaeck

Some of you have asked what kind of cookies I made for Christmas. My Mom used to make at least ten different kinds every year. For me, Spritzgebaeck, were the best. They are highly addictive. I can’t stop eating them when they are around. That’s why we made (and ate) five batches this year.

Donauwelle

This shows the inside of one of my favorite cakes, Donauwelle.

I absolutely LOVE this cake.

Tart Cherries mixed in black and white cake, topped with buttercream and a thin layer of chocolate. What’s not to love?

Well…if you ask my kids (who unfortunately don’t eat this cake), it’s the cherries that they don’t love! LOL

So when I make this cake, I know right away I will gain some weight. But hey! I am good enough, I am smart enough and people like me (SNL, was it Stuart Farley? The guy always looking in the mirror)

It’s Austin and Rebecca’s favorite cake and one of the cakes I made for today (and for my birthday a couple of weeks ago).
