I baked!

A very good friend of mine (Annika) and her husband (Allen) are throwing an Oktoberfest party..full of German beer tasting, TASTY home cooked German food, and possibly German music, although no one will be able to attest to that until later.

Annika has baked some serious events into my life. My most recent birthday cake, my WEDDING cake (kind of a big deal) and more recently, some amazing cookies that stole the show at my Baby Shower. She has been an inspiration. I like to bake, but I am not even in the same neighborhood as she is...let alone on any level near her.

SO.....for the Oktoberfest party..I opted to bake. I made CREAM PUFFS! I'm making them German because....


A: I am German...therefor these are German Made Cream Puffs.
B: I drizzled (melted and then drizzzzled) German Chocolate* on top of these AMAZING cream puffs. (I will post pictures and you will be subsequently amazed...just wait...)
















While baking, I remembered why I LIKE to bake...the smell. The house smelled utterly divine while these puffs were puffing.... Lets hope I can make this a habit!





*ahh..you saw the asterisk...(meaning that the Chocolate may or may not be German...)
