a Birthday day

Today our small kid Jack celebrated his 4th birthday.

He prepared canapes on his own for all children and he looked really happy to do it for them.All kids liked his refreshments very much.

He also enjoyed his famous day sitting in a special birthday chair and eating his meal in a special plate.

All kids made for him a book made from colorings dedicated to him.

He was satisfied with all "his" day as are all the kids who are celebrating their important birthday days during the year spent in school.:)

On Tuesday In our kindergarten there´s going to be a meeting by the Christmas tree and we will be looking forward to see Christmas presents from Santa. Kids are going to sing carols and taste all Christmas sweets made by their mums.

Kids were making christmas bells from gypsum which are intended as a christmas gifts for their parents.

Smícháme mouku, cukr, žloutek, mleté oříšky s plátky másla a ručně propracujeme a uhněteme těsto.

Mix flour, sugar,yolk and grounded hazelnuts together with slices of butter and make a kneaded dough.

Necháme ho v chladu odpočinout (stačí půl hodiny, ale není problém těsto dělat den předem).

Let it cool down(about half an hour but you can do dough a day before)

Troubu rozehřejeme na mírnou teplotu a pečeme do růžova.

Warm up the oven for mild temperature and bake to pink.

Ještě horké obalujeme v moučkovém cukru.
Still hot wrap in icing sugar.

Pečeme-li při teplotě trouby 150 °C, potřebujeme 20 minut času na upečení.

If you bake it when the temperature is 150C, you need 20 minutes to bake it.
