Christmas 2014 and a happy new and bright 2015 to everyone .

Merry Christmas
and Happy New Year 

And a typical Danish Christmas treat 

 The Honey Cake 

Have not tasted one of this for more than 40 years .

Our beloved Hasle Baker Stubb Holm used to make 

a special Christmas cake.

 It was a sort of Pepper cake but not brown like others

this were pale grayish with pink glaze.

His were made in  different Christmas shapes . A nan, a horse and a tree.

 Most were covered in dark pink sugar glaze.

The cakes were hard and difficult to bite in, baked from a  very pale  grey white dough

and then decorated  with a pink sugar with  fine details which  in a thin white sugar

almost like Hungarian pepper cakes. 

The horse which I loved the most was dipped in dark Chocolate

 and edged with green colored Cocos.

Would love to know that old recipe .

The picture underneath shows danish Honey Cakes,

 they are not anything like the Stubb-Holm Peppercake. 

Though except his were also sold in Christmas time.
