Oh my this brings back so many good memories. My Mom is German. My Dad met and married her in Germany when he was in the military. She continued all of the wonderful German traditions throughout our childhood. Christmas stollen, marzipan, and liebgucan were all enjoyed in our home. My Mom made the best Christmas cookies from scratch too. She is now 88 yrs old with Dementia but she was the best Mom ever and the memories live on with us!
C'est si touchant et en même temps un peu triste. Le temps passe. Nous veillissons et voyons nos parents vieillir. Embrassez bien affectueusement votre Maman. Profitez bien du temps avec elle et parlez lui de ces merveilleux souvenir. A sa façon elle vous comprend. Une maman comprend son enfant au delà de la raison. Toute mon amitié.
What a lovely feeling to hear Joerg sing such a worldwide Christmas song in the German tradition. I am African American and I love that we can celebrate Christ and Christmas in so many wonderful ways. This so reminds of my Mom and I decorating the tree and the smell of delicious food, dad and I singing Christmas carols, family and friends honoring God, giving thanks for our blessings and of course blessing others. Danke!
I loved that Joerg breaks out in spontaneous dance. My dear sweet late husband was notorious for swirling you into dance at the drop of a hat. Many times our whole family would have a dance fest at some random rest stop. He left us seven years ago but he left us with so many wonderful memories. He also loved stollen every year that we had to hunt down at either World Market or Trader’s Joe. After watching you make one, I wish I would have tried my hand at it. I still might in his honor. 😊
@@looloo4029 We call it the “mid-terms” because it is halfway between presidential elections. We are voting on many, but not all. Senate seats, House of Representative seats, state governorships and various other local judges, officials, etc. The big question is whether or not the Democratic Party will maintain their majority in the House and Senate. 💕
My mother discovered Stollen in the early 60s, it came from a rather smart bakery in my home town in Yorkshire, it always had marzipan through the centre. We loved it so much, it never lasted long! You have evoked a very happy memory, thank you both.
I Love stollen, l discovered it in Austria and it was with marzipan, which is delicious 😋 Great Christmas cake!! How do you keep the butter from going rancid keeping it for a month🤔
@@mariadegan1029 Fresh butter _should_ last for several months - particularly when i's been cooked. Think of a Christmas cake - that too is kept for several months in order to mature.
Stolen brings me memories about my travels to Germany for many years each first week of December, Nicholas day, zimt stern cookies and so on... Joerg is getting more and more funny. I loved this episode.
Hello Kirsten and Joerg!! I absolutely love German stollen! I've never made it before, though. My husband is Swiss German, so I'm learning how to make authentic German food. I made schnitzel and a delicious cucumber salad with dill, sour cream, heavy cream and lemon, etc., last night. My next recipe is spaetzle. I even bought a spaetzle maker. I adore German food.
Kirsten & Joerg. I really like stollen we get it from a local German bakery. My Father used to make German fruit cake Obstkuchen for Christmas. He would make it about four weeks ahead and it would sit in the refrigerator till Christmas. Every week he would pour some brandy on it. I really miss him and his cooking and baking. 🇩🇪🎄❤ cheers Ron.
I grew up with all these German sweets. My Balkan aunt used to live in Munich for 42 years, and she used to send us huge care packages for Christmas with marzipan, lebkuchen, rum kugeln, Mozart kugeln, Christ stollen, spekulatius, chocolates, Christmas chocolate ornaments and tons of other Christmas related things. Luckily, times have changed, and we have all of those things down here as well, so I don't need to wait anymore :) Also, I like to make Christmas sweets, so before Christmas, my mom and I bake all sorts of cookies, mostly old traditional German recipes.
Sitting bundled in a blanket with a cup of tea, nursing a cold while rain pours down outside. Yours was the perfect video to bring joy and warmth and a little coziness to my day. Thank you both!💕
I grew up eating a lot of German style food. My grandma, who was Hungarian, and my mom, from Slovak stock, both made delicious stollen. The best was the nut or poppy seed stollen. I love your kitchen segments. Your outtakes at the end of this vlog are so precious and funny. You've got a fan for life.
So many memories of the 3 years our family spent in Germany. All those treats, I love anything gingerbread, Lebkuchen, Pfeffernusse...the little gingerbread windmills and stollen is one of my favorite Christmas treats of all time! Thanks for the walk down memory lane once again. Cheers!
I just love all your videos! I’ve said that too many times! Haha. It’s just so nice to see two people that enjoy each other and pass on kindness! Thank you for starting my Christmas season so wonderfully! ❤
My father was a Konditer, and made all the baked goods you showed for my mother to sell in the shop here in Australia. He’s long gone and so I buy all the German Christmas treats at Aldi. Love my Stollen and buy up each November.
Thank you so much for the trip down Memory Lane! My mother was German, came to the states in 1950. We received numerous packages thru the years, as my Uncle owned a candy shop!
We love Stollen! As a matter of fact last week when we grocery shopped at Aldi they had all of their Christmas German goodies out. We bought a cherry stollen and a pack of Lebkuchen! We put the stollen in the freezer but it's already found its way back to the counter.
Im with you Constance Campbell, I'm on Kauai & hoping for the best turn out ever🌊🌊 Aside from that, Kirsten & Joerg are the sweetest reprieve from the chaos in the World, my hubby is Swiss & German, & I'm Latin & Portugese, living on Kauai 30 years & I adore watching this lovely, tranquil, & adventurous, couple. Thank you & Aloha💜🌈
I LOVE marzipan! I bought a German stollen at Aldi last week here in the US. I haven't cut into it yet but it has marzipan ❤ Your traditional Christmas cake sounds like the fruit cake my mom made when I was growing up in England. She made it weeks before Christmas, covered it in cheesecloth and regularly poured brandy over it. It was then covered with marzipan and royal icing. We don't have Lidl but we buy German sweets at Aldi.
I'm lousy at baking, so I'm very glad Aldi offer a very delicious, German made, marzipan filled stollen that I buy every year. Yours looks nice and easy, maybe I'll give it a try. Thank you for sharing. ❤️ PS. I love the heart shaped chocolate covered gingerbread. 😋
Lovely! My German grandmother used to make stollen every Christmas here in the U.S. But, I’ve never tried. This year, you’ve given me the inspiration and courage to try it myself (but I guess I better start soon)! Vielen Dank, Kirsten & Joerg! 💜
I love watching you both. You are such a lovely couple and you make me smile. You should show us more out-takes as they are very entertaining. Can't wait to see how the Stollen turns out. ❤
Jörg sings! And bakes! All in one video, what a treat. 😀 Cold months are perfect for baking, adding to a cozy atmosphere. You two, as I said it before, are a great team. Keep up the good work. 👌 I love Stollen, so I will certainly give it a try. Kirsten, please thank your sister for letting you share her lovely recipe. 😊 P. S. I recognized all the German sweets you showed us. Tried them all. They are amazing. I buy them in my local Müller or Lidl.
@@KirstenJoerg Oh, I forgot the bloopers.. Hilarious. 😆😅 One more thing, if I may ask, where do I store Stollen after I bake it? Since it contains eggs and quark, I presume in the fridge, or on the balcony?
Hello lovely People: Coincidentally I bought Stollen-bites in the Jumbo Supermarket. And Emma Bridgewater delivered the Christmas Cookies Mug & Plate! It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas here 🎁
Just lovely! Thankyou Kirsten and Joerg for cheering me up! Can't wait for your gorgeous festive Christmas videos... Always beautiful and full of joy.... Kisses 💕
Bonjour Kirsten et Joerg, quel immense plaisir vous m’avez fait avec le Stollen ! J’habite en Alsace à côté de l’Allemagne et mon enfance a été imprégnée des traditions allemandes. J’adore le Stollen au marzipan et toutes les douceurs que vous nous avez montrées. Chaque année pour Noël nous faisons beaucoup de Bredle et Lebkuchen et bien sûr du Stollen, c’est une tradition d’en offrir aux gens qu’on aime et d’en manger pendant toute la période d’avant Noël 🎄Nous avons aussi le Berewecke dans les Vosges toutes proches. Alors mille MERCIS pour cette sympathique vidéo qui m’a fait sourire et … j’ai très bien compris tout ce que vous disiez en allemand 😅 mais j’écris moins bien en allemand et le correcteur de l’iPad ne m’aide pas 😢 Je ne manquerai pas le rendez-vous le jour où vous dégusterez votre Stollen 🤩Amities d’Alsace 💝
My mother is from Norway and during Christmastime she would make YuleCake. (Yulacaca) is how we pronounced it. Haha….your mother’s cake looked like it! Loved this thank you! ⭐️👏⭐️👏⭐️👏💗💞💖💓💕
Tanenbaum was the first Xmas song I learned when I learned German. Good to see something uplifting and cozy on this sad rainy election night in Florida. Anything with marzipan is great. I will look in my Aldi for some of these goodies.
In the Netherlands we call it Kerststol and we also put marsepein in it, or actually a mixture of almond and sugar which is crushed and like a dough. We eat it at Christmas and with eastern and we put butter on it. I love it😍
Hi Joerg and Kirsten, I certainly appreciate you for showing us how to make stollen. I order it online from Germany because we love it. My husband is German and every once in awhile I’ll try a new recipe. I’m going to make it this year instead. Thank you, Cheers !
Thank you so much for sharing this family recipe ❤️ I made this at my Bakery and my Grandmother made it as well when I was young. I can't do Christmas without Stollen🥰
I cannot tell y'all how much I just love watching y'all! Now I have somewhat of a small bit of a problem. Of course I live in the US in the Southern part. We aren't fortunate enough to have Bakery Shops that would bake English seasonal sweets let alone German sweets. I'm so dishearted. Have any idea's?Much love to you both! You friend across the pond! 🇺🇸
You two are just adorbs, inclulding your Lady and Lord of the Manor aprons. The STOLLEN looks delish as well as the store bought German treats. Delightful Vlog!
I love you both. You don’t know what it means to me to be able to be a part of your day. I’m feeling down these days, and you both lift my spirits. I thank the Lord for you and pray His blessings upon you both. ❤
❤ Christmas 🎄 is on it’s way for sure , Season’s Baking has started for many, Thank you Kirsten and Joerg, for myself I go to a local German Store And do buy a mini stollen , is so rich and yes I do love marzipan .🎶 Mary Canada 🇨🇦
My mother used to bake Stollen every year and not just one or two, but a dozen of them, and they were rather large. She used a large plastic baby tub, to prepare the dough in. Her recipe, which was an original Dresden recipe where Stollen originated, was made with yeast and she soaked the raisins in rum overnight. Because she made so many of them and it would have taken forever to bake all of them one by one, we used to take the prepared dough to our local baker on the sled and we would pull the sled to him, so they could bake them all at once in their huge oven for us. These are fond memories for me.
Your Stollen reminds me of what we make and that is fruit cake for the holidays. My Mom and Aunt used to make them in Nov. they are filled with candied fruits( you can buy a mixed kind) We used brandy in the dough and we let them sit until around Christmas before we ate any! They made small cakes to give as gifts.
I have to say that my husband and I finished a whole marzipan filled stollen already from Aldi! Our two sons might of had some?! lol We wait for them every year,so GOOD.😄
Love watching you two cook together, and really enjoyed the outtakes! It's nice that you have a family recipe to use. I won't be doing any holiday baking this year, but I will be on the hunt for Niederegger and Mozart Kugeln for our taste of the holidays. Have a wonderful week! 🍂🍁🫖💕
Thank you so much Deborah! Hahah yes, that was so much fun. John Lewis does carry Niederegger. Unfortunately they no longer send to the UK due to Brexit. Wishing you a lovely week too.
When I was growing up, my grandmother (whose father was Swiss French and her mother from Acadia in Maine) always made stollen at Christmas- and several loaves at that! We saved it for Christmas morning, nice and fresh and we toasted it on the later days and swirled it with butter. I can still taste it, too! When I was very ill - several times over the past ten years - I wished she would ascend from Heaven and make me stollen or Parker House rolls. She could have cured me far faster than modern medicine! She was a fabulous cook and baker and there was love in everything she made. Thank you so much for sharing this lovely tradition...❤
I love Domino's !! I buy them every year. I also buy stollen and learned that I was to scoop out the marzipan after I sliced a piece, then toast the slice of cake to warm, then spread the marzipan on the warmed slice. It is even more delicious that way. I loved your outtakes too! My mother used to hum that tune that Joerg was humming as you danced. My mother, whose maiden name was Bach, would often hum that. I enjoyed the calm fun way you present things. Thank you
I was introduced to stollen as a child; my mother's parents were German. It's a favorite of my family's at Christmas time, but I have never made one. Lidl is our go-to for Christmas goodies. Also, here in New Jersey, USA, quark is no where to be seen!
I know i will not bake Stollen ,pretty sure it’s delicious but my eyes is set on how lovely,neat and what a modern cottage-like kitchen you have there….haha,excuse me but really admire your gorgeous kitchen🥰Love from Malaysia😊
Interesting to learn how to make Stollen. Although it’s not my favourite, it was a pleasure to learn and to watch you both. I prefer the Kletzen or Birnen/Früchtebrot it‘s traditional in Liechtenstein. The outtake was hilarious 😂 and the festive teapot gorgeous. Thank you 💕
Lo detras de camara es la mejor parte de los videos. Ustedes son muy simpaticos y agradables. Probare hacer el stolen. siempre hago una receta antigua alemana con cerveza negra que hacia mi tia y ahora probare esta del stolen. Gracias chicos por sus videos tan lindos!!!
Just three days ago my husband John said we have to get to Aldis for Stollen, Chocolat, etc. There Stollen is very good as is Trader Joes. Always brings back memories of Mother doing all.of her Christmas baking. Thank you for this...loved loved loved seeing you dance. Absolutely charming.
Love this video! Your outtakes are so cute! I've seen Stollen sold in the German city Frankenmuth which I would visit about a month before Christmas, but never did try. This recipe looks easy, so I'll have to try it.
Dear Mr. & Mrs. We recognize all those products from Germany at the end, as we use to get them from Santa 🎅 in our stocking, when we use to go to 🇩🇪 Germany at 🎄 Christmas.
Amazing, I love Stollen, but we always buy it. But ill definitely try making this. Family recipes are great. I still use my family recipe from my grand parents for Christmas Pudding and its so much better than shop bought. But like stollen it has to be made in advance so the flavour matures.
Loved the video! I. too. come from a military family that spent 3 years in Germany in the 1960s. After returning to the states, my parents would buy Stollen at Christmas. Brings back fond German Christmas memories. Thanks!
For anyone by who can’t find stollen with marzipan ; Morrisons sainsburys and Ocado ( marks and Spencer’s ) usually do quite good ones. Not authentically German but very similar. We love Christmas but have to have the German treats too, as my dad was in national service in Germany for three years in the 1950’s and he always loved the German Christmas treats too. Thanks for sharing your recipe. 😊
Oh this is our favorite at Christmas!! I love you made it.. and the dancing was a sweet bonus!!❤❤ Every Christmas my Mom would make Stollen and I remember her storing it in the attic! My Dad would tease her for a little bit of it before it was “seasoned” ! Thanks for this sweet memory.. love the cookies too.. we have a great German store in Cleveland where we can buy them! Your entire video is so happy and makes for a delightful time spent online with you both! Best wishes!! 🥰🎄
We popped into Lidl today for the lebkuchen assortment and spiced biscuits. They didn't have much stollen and none with marzipan, so hopefully Aldi will have some. Christmas isn't Christmas without the German treats.
I soooo look forward to your videos every Tuesday. Thanks so much for the entertainment, laughter, recipes shared, and always taking us with you wherever you go! Btw this looks delicious! Blessings from IA ❤️
My spirit is always lifted when I see there is a new video from y’all. Your videos are always informative and I always learn something new. Your stollen looks a bit like fruitcake. I’ll bet it will be delish.
Leibkuchen is my absolute favorite !! My grandmother would send them to us around Christmas from Germany..they were in a tin box...oh the memories❤ love stollen as well..thank you for this sweet video..pun intended.
I so enjoyed this video. My fathers grandparents came to USA from Germany and his grandmother was an amazing baker. The stories my father would tell about her stollen and apple kuchen, he dreamed about it. Unfortunately he passed last year but I going to make this in honor of him! So excited to try it. Thank you♥️
The Lord and Lady of the Manor never disappoint us 😊. My Nana makes a bread very similar to that. It’s a type of fruit cake, but a bread and she loads it with bourbon and it has to set 2 weeks as well. Lovely video of 2 beautiful, people in love making our day more delightful. 💕👍
Baking with you Kirsten and Joerg is a delight! Cosy baking days with you are so much fun, and brings along lovely holiday memories for everyone. Please give a cheery thank you to your sister! Ooh, I must confess, I wish I could get the Mr. and Mrs. Weasley teapot in the US! The closing moments were perfection, absolutely charming...so sweet.💖
It looks delicious, I love to have stollen at Christmas. It's so much fun to see you guys in the kitchen, love your cozy at home videos! Thank you so much 💓

Is it just my imagination, or is more and more of Joerg's personality coming out? And I'm loving it.
I think you’re right. He seems to be more comfortable in front of the camera, which is great !
Me too I love his personality!
Agree! Love the personality of both of them! This is a highlight of the week to find their videos.
❤🙏☮️👨🍳
He CAN sing! Love that.
Oh my this brings back so many good memories. My Mom is German. My Dad met and married her in Germany when he was in the military. She continued all of the wonderful German traditions throughout our childhood. Christmas stollen, marzipan, and liebgucan were all enjoyed in our home. My Mom made the best Christmas cookies from scratch too. She is now 88 yrs old with Dementia but she was the best Mom ever and the memories live on with us!
I'm so so sorry to hear that your Mom has dementia, she sounds like such a wonderful person. Wishing you all the best.x

What a lovely idea Amy! I hope you have a wonderful baking day if you decide to make the stollen. Your dance fest sounds very special indeed! 🤗
I can not tell you how grateful I am to get a video from you guys today. Big Election Day in US and I need all the sweetness and calm I can find. 💕💕💕

Only now I do realize why I like you both. You're like the characters in old fairy tales. Magical and cosy.
Stollen is our traditional Christmas breakfast 'bread/cake'. It's served with coffee and consumed while children open their stockings.

I cannot tell y'all how much I just love watching y'all! Now I have somewhat of a small bit of a problem. Of course I live in the US in the Southern part. We aren't fortunate enough to have Bakery Shops that would bake English seasonal sweets let alone German sweets. I'm so dishearted. Have any idea's?Much love to you both! You friend across the pond! 🇺🇸
Thank you so much! So so many recipes to try, just give it a go.
The scene at the end was brilliant!!!!
You two are just adorbs, inclulding your Lady and Lord of the Manor aprons. The STOLLEN looks delish as well as the store bought German treats. Delightful Vlog!
I love you both. You don’t know what it means to me to be able to be a part of your day. I’m feeling down these days, and you both lift my spirits. I thank the Lord for you and pray His blessings upon you both. ❤
❤ Christmas 🎄 is on it’s way for sure , Season’s Baking has started for many,
Thank you Kirsten and Joerg, for myself I go to a local German Store
And do buy a mini stollen , is so rich and yes I do love marzipan .🎶

My mother used to bake Stollen every year and not just one or two, but a dozen of them, and they were rather large. She used a large plastic baby tub, to prepare the dough in. Her recipe, which was an original Dresden recipe where Stollen originated, was made with yeast and she soaked the raisins in rum overnight. Because she made so many of them and it would have taken forever to bake all of them one by one, we used to take the prepared dough to our local baker on the sled and we would pull the sled to him, so they could bake them all at once in their huge oven for us. These are fond memories for me.
Your Stollen reminds me of what we make and that is fruit cake for the holidays. My Mom and Aunt used to make them in Nov. they are filled with candied fruits( you can buy a mixed kind) We used brandy in the dough and we let them sit until around Christmas before we ate any! They made small cakes to give as gifts.
Oh I love when you two love birds are in the kitchen!!!! Looks delicious. I couldn’t be trusted with all those sweets in the house. 🤣🤣🤣💜
Hahah same! It needs to be put away (it should have a lock).
I have to say that my husband and I finished a whole marzipan filled stollen already from Aldi! Our two sons might of had some?! lol We wait for them every year,so GOOD.😄
I love stollen, especially with marzipan. My German grandmother made this and many German Christmas cookies for the holidays
Love watching you two cook together, and really enjoyed the outtakes! It's nice that you have a family recipe to use. I won't be doing any holiday baking this year, but I will be on the hunt for Niederegger and Mozart Kugeln for our taste of the holidays. Have a wonderful week! 🍂🍁🫖💕
Thank you so much Deborah! Hahah yes, that was so much fun. John Lewis does carry Niederegger. Unfortunately they no longer send to the UK due to Brexit. Wishing you a lovely week too.
When I was growing up, my grandmother (whose father was Swiss French and her mother from Acadia in Maine) always made stollen at Christmas- and several loaves at that! We saved it for Christmas morning, nice and fresh and we toasted it on the later days and swirled it with butter. I can still taste it, too! When I was very ill - several times over the past ten years - I wished she would ascend from Heaven and make me stollen or Parker House rolls. She could have cured me far faster than modern medicine! She was a fabulous cook and baker and there was love in everything she made. Thank you so much for sharing this lovely tradition...❤
It's so good to see you guys having fun and thanks for sharing these nice moments together with us🙂
I love Domino's !! I buy them every year. I also buy stollen and learned that I was to scoop out the marzipan after I sliced a piece, then toast the slice of cake to warm, then spread the marzipan on the warmed slice. It is even more delicious that way. I loved your outtakes too! My mother used to hum that tune that Joerg was humming as you danced. My mother, whose maiden name was Bach, would often hum that. I enjoyed the calm fun way you present things. Thank you
So happy to see your holiday videos are starting! 🎄🎁
I was introduced to stollen as a child; my mother's parents were German. It's a favorite of my family's at Christmas time, but I have never made one. Lidl is our go-to for Christmas goodies. Also, here in New Jersey, USA, quark is no where to be seen!
You both are always inspirational to all of us! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much!
I'm all for German Christmas sweets, love the teapot.
Love stollen , and surprisingly easy to make . What a sweet video full of fun . Getting into the Christmas mood now definitely with a German twist .
I know i will not bake Stollen ,pretty sure it’s delicious but my eyes is set on how lovely,neat and what a modern cottage-like kitchen you have there….haha,excuse me but really admire your gorgeous kitchen🥰Love from Malaysia😊
Interesting to learn how to make Stollen. Although it’s not my favourite, it was a pleasure to learn and to watch you both. I prefer the Kletzen or Birnen/Früchtebrot it‘s traditional in Liechtenstein. The outtake was hilarious 😂 and the festive teapot gorgeous. Thank you 💕
What a warm introduction of Christmas feeling. The GERMAN STOLLEN looks very inviting,
Lo detras de camara es la mejor parte de los videos. Ustedes son muy simpaticos y agradables. Probare hacer el stolen. siempre hago una receta antigua alemana con cerveza negra que hacia mi tia y ahora probare esta del stolen. Gracias chicos por sus videos tan lindos!!!
Just three days ago my husband John said we have to get to Aldis for
Stollen, Chocolat, etc. There Stollen is very good as is Trader Joes.
Always brings back memories of Mother doing all.of her Christmas
baking. Thank you for this...loved loved loved seeing you dance. Absolutely
charming.
Love this video! Your outtakes are so cute! I've seen Stollen sold in the German city Frankenmuth which I would visit about a month before Christmas, but never did try. This recipe looks easy, so I'll have to try it.
Dear Mr. & Mrs.
We recognize all those products from Germany at the end, as we use to get them from Santa 🎅 in our stocking, when we use to go to 🇩🇪 Germany at 🎄 Christmas.
Amazing, I love Stollen, but we always buy it. But ill definitely try making this. Family recipes are great. I still use my family recipe from my grand parents for Christmas Pudding and its so much better than shop bought. But like stollen it has to be made in advance so the flavour matures.
Dear Kirsten and Joerg , every year ,at Christmas time , we buy ,by Lidl, the Lebkuechen...we love them😋♥️
I love the marzipan stolen as well and the Aldi's here in America carries it as soon as it comes in I have to buy one or two
So glad you like it!
Loved the video! I. too. come from a military family that spent 3 years in Germany in the 1960s. After returning to the states, my parents would buy Stollen at Christmas. Brings back fond German Christmas memories. Thanks!
❤️ LOVE the German even if I don't understand a word of it! Amazing ingredients - thank you for sharing the recipe & explaining "quark". 😊
Thank you so much!
I love Stollen with Marzipan.Excellent when it is really cold.
For anyone by who can’t find stollen with marzipan ; Morrisons sainsburys and Ocado ( marks and Spencer’s ) usually do quite good ones. Not authentically German but very similar. We love Christmas but have to have the German treats too, as my dad was in national service in Germany for three years in the 1950’s and he always loved the German Christmas treats too. Thanks for sharing your recipe. 😊
You two are a great couple!!!! Your marriage really shines!!! You are a good example!!!
Beautiful waltz. The two of you are so fun and make me smile. I look forward to every video.
Thank you so much!
Thank you for making us a part of your days , of your video and amazing home.
I love so much English Cottage.. 👏👏👏😍😍😍😍😍
Oh this is our favorite at Christmas!! I love you made it.. and the dancing was a sweet bonus!!❤❤ Every Christmas my Mom would make Stollen and I remember her storing it in the attic! My Dad would tease her for a little bit of it before it was “seasoned” ! Thanks for this sweet memory.. love the cookies too.. we have a great German store in Cleveland where we can buy them! Your entire video is so happy and makes for a delightful time spent online with you both! Best wishes!! 🥰🎄
Thank you so much! Yes, one should store it in a cool and dry place. Can't wait for Jörg to try it.
We tried this recipe last late November. It's by far the best home made stollen we made! Thank you for sharing your family's stollen secret!❤❤❤❤
Oh so happy to hear! It’s so easy to make yet it’s so incredibly good and tasty.❤️
We popped into Lidl today for the lebkuchen assortment and spiced biscuits. They didn't have much stollen and none with marzipan, so hopefully Aldi will have some. Christmas isn't Christmas without the German treats.
I know, I think Aldi only has the Stollen without marzipan. So glad you enjoy the German treats.
Lovely....I've started feeling christmassy now....and the last bit made me giggle...thank you 😊
I soooo look forward to your videos every Tuesday. Thanks so much for the entertainment, laughter, recipes shared, and always taking us with you wherever you go! Btw this looks delicious! Blessings from IA ❤️
Thanks so much!
Das mit dem Quark stimmt. Bin regelmäßig in England und habe dort noch nie Quark gefunden.
Gut, dass es ihn doch gibt hier auf der Insel!🤗
So happy to see another video from you both!! I just adore watching you.The highlight of my week ❤
Thank you so much!
My favorite Christmas Stollen. I have never made it we got it at the bakery. You guys did a fine job looks yummy!!!
I love the Lebkuchen cookies with the wafers on the bottom. I get them every year at Trader Joe's here in the US. I wish they had them all year round.
Oh yes, such a classic!
That looks delicious. I also have been making Weinacht Stollen for many many years. We love it.
My spirit is always lifted when I see there is a new video from y’all. Your videos are always informative and I always learn something new. Your stollen looks a bit like fruitcake. I’ll bet it will be delish.
Thank you so much!
Leibkuchen is my absolute favorite !! My grandmother would send them to us around Christmas from Germany..they were in a tin box...oh the memories❤ love stollen as well..thank you for this sweet video..pun intended.
Brawo 👏 super łapka w górę 👍 oglądałam z przyjemnością przesyłam pozdrowienia dobranoc ✨✨🌙🌌🙋🌷
I so enjoyed this video. My fathers grandparents came to USA from Germany and his grandmother was an amazing baker. The stories my father would tell about her stollen and apple kuchen, he dreamed about it. Unfortunately he passed last year but I going to make this in honor of him! So excited to try it. Thank you♥️
The Lord and Lady of the Manor never disappoint us 😊. My Nana makes a bread very similar to that. It’s a type of fruit cake, but a bread and she loads it with bourbon and it has to set 2 weeks as well. Lovely video of 2 beautiful, people in love making our day more delightful. 💕👍
Thank you so much!
Baking with you Kirsten and Joerg is a delight! Cosy baking days with you are so much fun, and brings along lovely holiday memories for everyone. Please give a cheery thank you to your sister! Ooh, I must confess, I wish I could get the Mr. and Mrs. Weasley teapot in the US! The closing moments were perfection, absolutely charming...so sweet.💖
Thank you so much Elizabeth!
