Getting festive...

Received Kirschwasser from the most generous [livejournal.com profile] artemis10002000. *is happy* Now there's no more obstacle in the way of baking magic for Mum's 80th birthday, coming up at the end of the month.

I haven't baked Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte for... well I don't even know for how long. I hope I still have it in me. And there will be festive toasting with eggnogg, in chocolate 'shot glasses'. Yep, I already bought them. She'll be so surprised!

See what happens? You say Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte and I show up :D I didn't even know you can make them at home. I am in awe!

Well, there are several highly complicated ways to make them - and a ridiculously easy one. You can guess which version I make. ;)

It's my go to in a cafe, well that or Mokka Sahne Torte or Fruch Torte or... Good ones are hard to find in the US. Most US cakes are way too sweet, but a here in NY there are some good bakeries.

They are all very good choices indeed. ;)

Delicious! (I had Black Forest Gateau at my fortieth.) Many happy returns to your Mum.

Happy Birthday, Mum! 80,eh. That is a milstone.

Might have to see if I can rustle up a few Aussie treats for her.

That is very sweet of you, but really not necessary! The best thing is to have you back again. I missed you very much. *hugs*
