Some therapeutic baking
Sep. 18th, 2021 07:39 pmI've made mini Gugelhupfs today, from yeast dough and with lots of candied fruits. Look, how lovely they are:

The recipe is for one big yeast cake, as a rule. But I got this lovely silicone baking tin from Mum for my last birthday, and I thought the things would be less likely to dry out by tomorrow if I made a couple of smaller ones, since they wouldn't be cut until we eat them.
I also did the laundry, made a food run and finished a couple of mini felt mittens for the charity fair. Three others are half-done, all I'll have to do tomorrow is to stitch their two halves together.
Weather has changed rather abruptly. While we were dying from heat during the week, it's now strong winds and storm warnings. I hope the insulation team has done a good job and the balcony will be safe from now on. *fingers crossed*
