Just a reminder that if you ordered Christmas Desserts they are ready starting today. It is self-serve pickup, so feel free to come any day and time thatโs convenient for you. I will send address and location in messages for those they havenโt used this new pickup method.
A few helpful hints to have the most delicious desserts:
๐
๐ป If you plan to serve your desserts on Christmas Day or later, I recommend keeping items in the freezer until the morning of. Cookies, vanilla cakes and Schnecken can thaw at room temperature. Cheesecake cake be put in the refrigerator the night before or morning of. It does not take long to thaw.
๐
๐ป While talking about cheesecakes, have you ever tried them frozen? SO good and takes on a completely different flavor and texture.
๐
๐ป Frozen or semi-frozen cheesecakes are the easiest to cut. Using a long, sharp knife (I like to use either a Chefโs knife or Santuko knife) and warm water, youโll get the perfect, clean cut every time. Wipe the knife between each cut and warm with water. IF you are cutting a thawed cheesecake, the easiest way is with unwaxed and unflavored dental floss.
๐
๐ป The same cutting technique with warm water and a sharp knife works best with sponge cakes/the vanilla cake. Do not cut it frozen though. It needs to be completely thawed so your icing doesnโt separate from the cake when you cut it. Little hint. Cut in long, thin sections across the entire cake. Let your section fall on its side and cut into 2-3 piece rectangles. โTriangleโ pieces are such a pain.

๐ป Schnecken: once thawed, move to your serving plate and warm in the microwave at 15-20 second intervals until just warm and soft to your liking. It can also be put on an oven safe plate and warmed in the oven on 300ยฐ for a few minutes or until your liking. If you are sharing, cut SMALL! It is very filling.
