Christmas pastries manufacturing can begin, but remember that not everything tarvitrse time to do it yourself. Alice Westerberg
– Now it already is there, to laugh and at the same time Vevobahis improve baking author and entrepreneur Alice Westerberg .
Westerberg means approaching christmas. Eve is in a few weeks time. Westerberg is not the only one who figured in disbelief decreasing days.
But don’t worry, if you want to bake christmas goodies, is you still have plenty of time. You can start right now.
Baking should start, for example, of gingerbread and christmas cookies. The cookies will remain fine for two to three weeks – unless they are eaten before eve.
Sure, they should retain the right, Westerberg recalls.
Gingerbread and cookie are preserved best at room temperature in a hermetically sealed box. Traditional, metal gingerbread in jars are good.
a Good tip is that almost everything can be done in advance and frozen.
coffee cake will keep about a week in the refrigerator, so at this stage-baked cake Westerberg would put in the freezer.
– it is Said that the fruit cake only gets more flavor the longer it is in the closet, but I think after a week it starts to get already more flavor.
besides, many spice cakes are frozen after even better. Cake worth having to defrost about a day before it plans to raise the table offered.
If you don’t want frozen coffee cakes or your freezer is not a cake reaching the opening, the worth of the cake to bake for about five days before christmas. Westerberg’s own favorite is the date cake, it definitely belongs on the christmas table.
Buns eve morning
Likewise, the buns can be frozen. They too happen the same phenomenon as spice cake: healing and mehevöityvät in the freezer.
Westerberg himself to bake christmas stars buns until christmas eve morning. For many years he has woken up in six countries, the effort to a bun dough and boil the rice porridge. And he makes a fully voluntary basis.
I Want to christmas eve the buns fresh. We have a tradition, that my parents and my sister and her family came to us the morning puurolle, because they live so close. Look forward to it very much.
Also, the cake base should be baked in advance and frozen. A little stiff sponge is easy to handle and cut parts. The cake can be frozen up to filled, without the frosting.
christmas sweets usually remain in a couple of weeks, but kept there are differences. For example, toffees and marmalades preserved in a refrigerator, at room temperature, they can dry a little. Marshmallows are maintained in turn at room temperature.
Westerberg recognizes that every christmas they have to be a new cake. Usually it is a jellied cheese cake. This cake is made in advance, for a couple of days the flavors are smoothed out and the cake tastes better.
don’t stress
Although westerberg’s bake is long and impressive, it can be flexible.
– I Have in recent years learned to be merciful to myself. Should not take too much pressure. If something does not have time to do so then do not do. Boldly can drag the list to tick off over, Westerberg encouraged.
of Course they could be, too, who enjoy the night conclusion. Westerberg recalls that the store has a lot of good finished products and semi-finished products. No one barely hurt, if all the food and pastry is not to make yourself.
