Cardamom Buns
Cardamom bun are my absolute favorite yeast dough pastry. Here you get the recipe for sticky cardamom twists with a good layer of filling. I roll them in a slightly different way, which makes them extra beautiful and properly baked through. You can see how in the video below. Let them rise for 3 hours or longer. This gives you a really smooth and delicious dough, and some large twists.

Financiers
Financiers is a traditional French cake where the main ingredient is almonds. Financiers use egg whites as a leavening agent. The small cakes have a characteristic shape like a small rectangle. I bought my molds at Kunst og Køkkentøj. Financiers are simple and delicious, and can be easily varied with, for example, berries or chocolate. If you have leftover egg whites from another baking session, they can be advantageously frozen in a sealed bag. Just thaw them before use.
Gingerbread Men
Shaped cookies are delightful to make and taste wonderfully festive with strong Christmas spices. The gingerbread dough is easier to work with the colder it is. Therefore, it's a good idea to make it the day before you need it. If necessary, you can place it in the freezer for a couple of hours and then cut out the cookies. The cookies are topped with a delicious icing that is easy to pipe due to its good thick consistency.
Late Summer Layer Cake with Berries
Fresh and elegant layer cake with marzipan bases, two layers of mousse with blackberries and raspberries, and a soft buttercream on top. A delicious cake with a balance between tartness and sweetness - perfect for festive occasions
Nutella Swirls
If you like cinnamon rolls and cardamom twists, these Nutella swirls are just for you! Here, I've made homemade Nutella, which is really easy and has a distinct and delicious taste of roasted hazelnuts. Of course, you can also just use the original Nutella from a jar. The dough for the Nutella swirls is a brioche dough, which makes it deliciously soft and not too sweet.
