Linzer Jam Cookies

Linzer Jam Cookies

This week, I'm sharing how to make tiny raspberry (or strawberry) jam linzer cookies.  This is one of my mom's favorite cookies and is seriously irresistible. At the bottom of this post, I've included a video tutorial for you to follow along.  I was planning on making an entire baking scene, but that didn't pan out since I was kind of pressed for time :( Maybe next time I'll be able to do one.

Tip: While Fimo gel is quite thin yet very translucent and great for sauces, it's not the ideal consistency for a thicker jam.  So I usually end up adding in a bit of translucent clay to create a better not-as-runny consistency.

Hot Cross Buns

Hot Cross Buns


This week's miniature is hot cross buns!  It was requested in the comments of my cake stand tutorial and thought it would be fun to make.  In all honesty, I've never actually eaten a hot cross bun, I'm only familiar with the nursery rhyme.  :P  But I know it's a very popular bread and it sure does look delicious!
