I love going home for the holidays & spending time with Mom in the kitchen, baking and being creative.
Here are three fun projects we whipped up:
1. C U P C A K E S
Chocolate cupcakes with chocolate ganache filling & chocolate frosting




2. B R E A D
Swedish Easter Bread with Cardamom

Rolling out the dough and creating a braided loaf and… my little dough person.

Raisin eyes!

The dough morgue.

Check out his tan!
3. U K R A I N I A N E G G S
The art of Ukrainian Egg dyeing or “Pysanky” takes some patience. But this art form is definitely worth learning because of the fascinating way it utilizes traditional folk motifs and designs. Layers of wax and dyes create stories on the eggs with the different colors & symbols. I found this site that shows a step-by-step process & you can order the kits online if you are interested.
