Welcome to Koek & Cake

My personal blog 'Koek & Cake' is all about home-baked cookies, cakes, bars and more...
The American name for cookie is derived from the Dutch word koek or (informal) koekje, which means little cake and arrived in American English through the Dutch immigrants in North America. Now that I'm settling in Austin, Texas. History repeats itself. Koek is brought to the USA,

Graduation

Last weekend we had a graduation including cap and gown ceremony for our dog Lila. A great opportunity to explore how to decorate cookies.

Cookies for the trainer

I baked lemon sugar cookies that I glazed and than decorated. As I'm new to cookie decorating I have been surfing on the web and found this great website full with great ideas: http://www.sweetsugarbelle.com/. Sweet Sugar Belle uses royal icing to decorate her cookies. So far I have only used royal icing to decorate cakes and cupcakes. I'm looking forward to trying it out on cookies. Keep you posted!!
