I'm a huge fan of marzipan. Now I just have to make a new batch. <br /><br />Good trick about adding the fruit later for those who don't like it. I shall have to bear that in mind.<br /><br />Thank you, and I hope you keep reading...Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12805093460124783509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8595250102120311644.post-61443722646231583792010-03-22T04:48:04.798+00:002010-03-22T04:48:04.798+00:00Dear Rebecca,

I guess you have to like marzipan to do this but my family loves it so there would be a riot if I left the crosses off. It adds a little something to the overall flavour.<br />Also her recipe involves proving the dough without the fruit and then putting it in before shaping the buns (I think this is one rise less than you give your dough.) This is good for me because one of my kids hates the fruit so I can make some for him without any.Heathernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8595250102120311644.post-30997928061456126282010-03-21T19:09:08.463+00:002010-03-21T19:09:08.463+00:00Aww - sniff looks so snoozy.

Thought about changing Arctic Garden and cleaning it up as well, especially now that we have the option of creating pages. <br />Sounds like we are both in the same situation these days. I am trying to blog more as well, but just kind of mucking through things right now. We just gained an hour of light in the evening now, so I hope it will help on this end as well.<br />Wishing you luck with it all and hope to see more of you on the blog. I miss our correspondence.Nicole Pearcehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03777028410857045419noreply@blogger.com
