Cookies * Kurabiyeler

I know that New Year celebrations are over now.
But we have not yet finished up eating our New Year cookies.
Since I started cooking and baking at 30, I picked the practical option: Dr. Oetker ;)
This amazing box included everything that I needed: cookie mix,cookie cutter and decorating icing.
If you follow the pictures, you would see how easy it was.
This was my first baking attempt, I was so excited and could not wait for icing to frozen enough.
If you wait longer, result would be better.
And smell of ginger-cinnamon cookies is worth to try!
Bon Cupcake Appetit!!!

Biliyorum, yilbasi kutlamalari sona erdi.
Fakat, biz henuz yilbasi kurabiyelerimizi yemeyi bitirmedik.
Mutfaga ilk kez 30 yasinda girmis birisi olarak ben en pratik yolu sectim: Dr. Oetker ;)
Bu harika kutunun icinde ihtiyacim olan hersey vardi: kurabiye karisimi, camagaci seklinde kurabiye kalibi ve suslemek icin glazur.
Fotograflari takip ederseniz ne kadar kolay oldugunu goreceksiniz.
Ben ilk denemem oldugu icin pek heyecanliydim, glazurun donmasini tam beklemeden suslemeye basladim.
Beklerseniz sonucun daha iyi olacagina eminim.
Inanin, mutfagi saran zencefilli-tarcinli kurabiye kokusu denemeye deger!
Afiyet Cupcake olsun!!!

I baked this one for my hubby ;)

Bunu Sevgili icin hazirladim ;)

This one is my favorite: a Christmas tree decorated with heels ;)

Bu da benim favorim: topuklu ayakkabilarla suslu Yilbasi Agaci ;)

Gingerbread Houses

Do you like gingerbread cookies?
What about creating houses or castles using gingerbread cookies?
This is a creative holiday tradition common in America and Nordic countries.
Gingerbread houses always reminds me my favorite tale Hansel and Gratel.
The houses should be ready for the gnomes before Christmas Eve.
You can eat the house by the New Year`s Eve ;)

Zencefilli kurabiye sever misiniz?
Peki zencefilli kurabiye kullanarak ev ve kaleler yapmak ister misiniz?
Amerika ve Kuzey Avrupa ulkelerinde yaygin olan bu yaratici gelenegi cok seviyorum.
Zencefilli kurabiyelerden yapilan evler bana hep Hansel ve Gratel masalini hatirlatir.
Evler Noel arifesi oncesinde cucelerin yerlesmesi icin hazir olmali.
Ama yilbasi aksami oncesinde evi afiyetle yemeye baslayabilirsiniz ;)

Just the week before our road trip, I attended crafts workshop. I have never been talented on crafts. Normally, I try to avoid those kind of events. But this time little angels tempted me so I was there:)

While creating little angels, I took the photos of every step so you can do by yourself at your home.

Materials:
cardboard (to sketch little angels)
pipe cleaner (for the body)
wood beads (big ones for the head; small ones are for the arms & feet)
colorful felt (for the outfit)
glassbead & ribbon (to accessorize angels` outfit)
tulle (for the wings)
crayon (to draw a face)
needle, yarn, scissors

Those little angels will be sold in Sarajevo Winter Market. And the proceeds will be used to fund health & education projects in Bosnia-Herzegovina.

I would like to thank to our great host, AnneMartine van Voorst.

Tatil oncesi el sanatlari atolye calismasina katildim. El sanatlari konusunda hicbir zaman yetenekli olmamisimdir. Genelde bu tur aktivitelerden uzak durmaya calisirim. Fakat bu sefer minik meleklere karsi koyamadim:)

Minik melekleri yaparken her asamanin fotografini cektim. Eger isterseniz siz de evde kolaylikla yapabilirsiniz.

Malzemeler:
karton (minik meleklerin taslagini cizmek icin)
pipo temizleme cubuklari (meleklerin govdesi icin)
tahta boncuklar (buyuk olanlar kafa; kucukler ise kol ve ayaklar icin)
renkli keceler (meleklerin giysileri icin)
cam boncuk ve kurdeler (giysileri suslemede kullanilacak)
tul (melek kanatlari icin)
boya kalemi (meleklerin yuzunu cizmek icin)
igne, iplik ve makas

Bu minik melekler Saraybosna Kis Pazarinda satisa sunulacak. Elde edilen gelir de Bosna-Hersek`de cesitli saglik ve egitim projelerinde kullanilacak.

Atolye calismasina ev sahipligi yapan sevgili AnneMartine van Voorst`a cok tesekkurler.
