Saint Nicolas is a big party for our family. Partly because my Grandfather's birthday is 2 days before, but then I believe anyone from Holland sees it as a tradition. So we all get together and have present for everyone. Mainly for the kids, but everyone gets something from the generous 'Sinterklaas'.
This year I wanted to make the usual treats myself, instead of buying them at the bakery.
So I baked a 'Speculaastaart' which is speculous spiced dough with a grounded almond filling.
I also made the traditional 'Pepernoten', which are made from almost the same ingredients as the dough for the pie. After I covered them with Cocolate. Unfortunately I didnt make any picture of those.
I also home made marzipan. It is tradition to serve this is shapes of fruit or anything related to the person you are giving it to. The first two pictures are 'Plonsters' (this is a cartoon like show on the Dutch tv but all made out of clay). My nephews who really like watching this. Then ofcourse I made some fruits and a snow man.
