Thank you so much for posting! I'm always looking for new holiday baking ideas. I'm sure I'm going to use a couple of these this year! Yummy!

[lady_of_clunn]

You are welcome :)

The Marzipan Dubloons are my dad's favourite and the Cinnamon Stars my husband's. I highly recommend both!

I really have to fight myself so I won't eat all these!

When you say starch for the Cheeky Boys do you mean cornstarch?

[lady_of_clunn]

I usually use potato starch but cornstarch works, too.

The dough just needs the finer texture than flour would provide.

Thank you!

My family is German so we love this stuff! Thankyou thankyou :3 Very excited to make my own Cinnamon stars instead of out of a packet.

However when you say baking oil..you mean the almond oil yes?

[lady_of_clunn]

Oh dear. I thought I edited all of that out...

Yes, it's the bitter almond oil (smells like marzipan). In Germany we get these little flasks filled with baking oils in different flavours - bitter almond, rum, butter-vanilla, lemon, orange... One flask is just enough for 500 g flour or half a litre of liquid.

I only once found good packaged cinnamon stars - they are usually way too dry. The homemade once are nice and moist :)

I love that quote on your icon, btw :)
