The google translation isn't particularly helpful ('Eggs are beaten with sugar and vanilievata pinch of salt foam. Sift the flour, add beaten with powdered sugar butter...'). I've tried searching for them on the internet, but no luck so far (I even tried in bulgarian, but that was even trickier than i thought it would be).<br /><br />I could probably work it out from the blog, but I'd like to make them as xmas gifts, and it would just be so much easier if someone knew how to do it already!Beccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04035994728646360321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932214040062195180.post-43856360878026790142010-12-13T17:04:31.452-05:002010-12-13T17:04:31.452-05:00These cakes are amazing!These cakes are amazing!Devorahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09467731180285925143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932214040062195180.post-66314070904223196352010-12-10T06:54:05.254-05:002010-12-10T06:54:05.254-05:00Oooh..

It reminds me of how lovely winter is Or would be, if it werer *warmer*! (the skiing snowman, or Nellie's wee snow-family, and the Martha Stewart cake -- nice.)<br /><br />@Herouth-- I was wondering if anyone else noticed that misspelling on the cookies. And thanks for explaining the origins of hannukiot-- I thought menorah was incorrect, too. The things one learns from reading Cake Wrecks comments :)<br /><br />@Jaqui-- I can think of two things to celebrate with a winter cake. (1) my birthday, and (2) the 80 cm of snow that thwomped down on parts of my province did NOT hit my city, so I haven't had to shovel yet (pause for happy dance). (For the Americans reading, that's 4" shy of three feet. In two days. Yes, that broke a record.)<br /><br />BTW, if people want to see another Hannukah related error that, since it doesn't involve cake, can't be submitted to CW but CW fans will find amusing-- check out what one New York deli used as a promotional item for Hannukah: http://www.nydailynews.com/lifestyle/food/2007/12/06/2007-12-06_balduccis_offers_ham_for_chanukah.htmlAlizanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932214040062195180.post-14229945789525508502010-12-07T18:32:37.503-05:002010-12-07T18:32:37.503-05:00Would fellow CW readers be aware of other's co...Would fellow CW readers be aware of other's comments before posting their own? pleasie pleasie pleeease?

After scouring the supermarkets and box stores for Chanukah paraphernalia that includes more than the end of a shelf and three nearly sold out items, it is a relief to see some gorgeous stuff.<br /><br />2. Can't believe I'm weighing in on the halachah (Jewish law), but here goes:<br /><br />a) You eat only unleavened foods on Pesach aka Passover. Some of the best cakes are made during this time, from pavlovas to sponges to baked alaska. So shove over on that one and enjoy the fried Chanukah deliciousness.<br /><br />b) It is a hey and not a chet. They outlined the top of the bottom leg in perfectly piped royal icing. Or stencil. Or who cares. It's gorgeous.<br /><br />c) Jews keep kosher on one level or another throughout the denominations. :Raises hand:--> Reform Jew who keeps kosher.<br /><br />d) Challah is especially made for Shabbat (the Sabbath), but is served at other celebration times, as well (the New Year, weddings, etc). If anyone's interested in a recipe, I've got nine up on my blog at the moment.<br /><br />e) Speaking of which, Jen, my tag line is "Share and Enjoy." If you know the reference I will officially squee.
