Reblogged this on penpowersong.
When I visit the Phillipines, which will be sooner rather than later, I would like to meet you! Happy Holidays my friend~
Oh, did that make me hungry! You’re right, though, Cindy. It’s better for me they were just pictures. 😀 — Suzanne
Sadly, this is the truth! Happy Holidays my friend~
Happy holidays from Europe, Cindy… or the outskirts of, anyhow! 😀 Yummy photos!
Happy Holidays to you in beautiful Europe!
This is a joy to the eye, firstly… secondly, a feast to the mouth… excellent photographs, dear Cindy. Merry Christmas and all my best wishes to you. Aquileana 🎄
The Merriest Chirstmas to you my friend. I have so enjoyed reading and learning from your posts this past year and look forward to more of the same in the New Year!
Wow! How could you ever choose a favorite treat!
Essentially I couldn’t. I went into choice overload, which is probably better than calorie overload! 😉
What a gorgeous display Cindy 🙂 A visual treat <3
Yes, we can feast our eyes rather than our stomachs which is probably better for us, although not quite as pleasurable! 😉
And a SWEET holiday season to you too!
Visa versa 2 U! <3
Cake shops, etc. were one of the highlights of Europe for me. Your photos have me drooling. Excuse me, I have to go bake something! 😉
A well made cake is my favortie food in the world. Whatca baking????
Almond crescent cookies! 🙂
I make almond cookies for Christmas too! Love em~
Scrumptious, Cindy! Are you sure just peeking at the pictures won’t add inches to my backside??!! Merry Christmas to you and yours!
I am positive, but, (no pun intended) with the current fashion in butts, I suggest you eat as much as you would like! But then honestly, who in their right mind wants to keep up with the Kardashians? Not you. Not me.
Merry Christmas my friend and I look forward to 2016 with you! <3
HaHa, I definitely don’t want to keep up with the Kardashians! Merry Christmas right back at ya — let’s stay in touch!
love your phatt photos…I just know I gained 10 pounds looking at all that delicious wonderfullness 🙂
These photos are the good kinda phatt, the kind that thankfully won’t make you fat! Happy Holidays my friend!
Wow oh Wow! You must stop – wait. Don’t stop. So beautiful. now for you – a laugh:
https://youtu.be/lQ6-nCLeDsI
Oh MY GOD!! This is the BEST video I have EVER seen!! I watched it like three times. These are MY PEOPLE! This is hilarious. It is now going in the inbox of everyone I know. I swear if I see another gluten free cake I will SNAP!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you for sending this best of bestest holiday video and Merry Christmas to you! <3 😉 🙂 (ღ˘⌣˘ღ)
Hahahaha – I also watched it a few times.
those all look delicious
So many desserts, so little time! ):
Cindy – Your photos convinced me I should be able to reach into my screen and select any number of goodies. One of my favorite things I loved about living in European countries, Christmas markets or not, was being able to stop at the bakery each and every day for fresh brochen and whatever else I thought I couldn’t live without. Needless to say, it’s a place where one must practice every ounce of courage they have.
It’s a good thing I had to do a serious amount of walking and such on my job or I would have come each time as ‘baggage’ and not as a passanger.
Exactly! The problem is one wants to try EVERYthing, which of course you can’t do. You have to settle for some incredibly delicious tastes which then remain in your mind like mantras, oooooooh that was so delicious!! Merry Christmas to you and Tom! <3
And the same to you and yours. The best I learned from the many bakeries I visited was that having a cup of coffee was an event and not a mad dash wherein you make a mad dash of in and out.
I finally learned, when the locals asked you to join them at (their table) you had finally arrived! It also offered up an opportunity to taste most everything offered in a particular bakery if you desired.
Friendships formed during those 3 to 4 hour cup(s) of coffee are some of the best that remain today. Here’s to friendships forged what seems a lifetime ago that remain strong today.
Yes, I know exactly what you mean, there is no rushing at the table expecially in France and Italy. People savor, food, drink and friends. It is a nice way to live. Be well dear Sheri.
Salivating, especially over the chocolate lobster…
Yes, he looks almost, I say almost, too artistic to eat!! 😉
Made the mistake of visiting your blog in the middle of the night! Feeling hungry now… 😛
Laughing, oh dear, so sorry! Some hot chocolate might help you get back to sleep! <3
Haha… thanks…. enjoyed the post… 🙂
Just looking at those can make one …phatt, but then, we only live once! 😉
Happy holidays, my dear Cindy! 🙂
Happy Holidays to you and your loved ones Marina! <3
🙂
Where but Germany or Austria would there be an item ‘unsere haustorte’–our house cake! These folks know their sweets!
They know them and I love them! <3
looks yummy
without any trace
of calories 🙂
The best way to enjoy chocolate is looking at it!
So tempting!
Yes, I emailed the Passau Chocolate Shop to see if I can order some online!. My bad! 😉
First I made my way through these photos on Facebook, and now I have to go through them on your blog. Have you no mercy, girl? 🙂 –Curt
I have none at Christmas time! I say it’s Christmas, eat some chocolate! Happy Holidays to you and your family Curt~
I’ve been chomping down Peggy’s Christmas cookies like there is no tomorrow. I have a clear understanding that another word for Holiday is indulge. 🙂 Happy Holidays also to you and your family as well, Cindy.
<3
I may have gained a few pounds just looking, lol. Happy holidays Cindy. 🙂
Happy Holidays my friend and a Happy Healthy New Year!
Thanks Cindy! Wishing all the same to you and yours! <3
So delicious. Sorry I may be drooling on your post.
No worries, I can’t see it from here! 😉 😉
They all look perfect for the holiday season. Hope you have a very good Christmas, Cindy! It’s has been a great year for me, meeting you online. Thank you 🙂
You are a reason to be grateful this season Maiko! All the very best to you my friend~ <3
Oh my goodness so delicious looking! great photos
Good enough to eat, but fortunately, we can’t! 😉
Happy Sunday to you by Rinaldo🌻
Happy Sunday Rinaldo and have a wonderful Holiday Week!
I wish for you that all your Christmas wishes comes true! Merry Christmas!
Visa versa 2U! Merry Christmas~
The first picture makes me feel like taking a dive into it!… Your photo’s seem to have a strange effect on me… 😀
Merry Christmas!
I wish I could beam back and eat more cake! Wish you could too! They were incredibly good. Cheers to you~
I lived in Germany for some time in my childhood and the highlight of a weekend after long walks in the woods with my mother was one of our favourite ‘Konditorei’, a coffee or tea and a lovely piece of cake. I can still taste them when I look at the picture 😉
So, just beam me up! (…or is it down?…) 😀
Up, down, let’s go get some cake!! 😉
Most heavenly post!!! Are you back yet? Happy, Happy Holidays to you and yours! 🙂
Yes, we are back! Enjoying the Holiday baking as I know are you. Happy Holidays dear Fae! <3
They all look so delicious! Happy Holidays!
Visa versa 2UX2! <3
Those pictures probably put back the “Don’t eat so much sugar” about 100 years. Totally magnificent.
Liebe Cindy da hast du aber wunderschöne Köstlichkeiten fotografiert da läuft einem ja das Wasser im Mund zusammen so viele schöne Leckereien hab einen schönen Start in die Weihnachtswoche Klaus in Freundschaft
Haben Sie eine wunderbare Weihnachts mein lieber Freund! <3
It’s phatt season!
It is!! Hooray! I am making fudge, all sorts of cookies, and mud pie on request!! Happy Holidays Brenda, to you and your family~
Oooh , mud pie. I could get down and dirty with that. I’m making oatmeal scotchies, sugar cookies, brownie Christmas trees and chocolate chip cookies. I feel the phatt coming! LOL Hope you and yours have great holidays!
Looks delicious! If you visit Bamberg, it’s worth sampling the Rauchbier (smoked beer) at the Schlenkerla brewery. Rachbier has an unusual taste; a little reminiscent of smoked bacon, and Bamberg is the best known place in the world it is brewed. http://www.schlenkerla.de/indexe.html
There used to be a US Army base in Bamberg, Warner Barracks, but it closed in 2014.
Yes, we were in Bamberg! Beautiful town. My husband tried the beer. I’m not a big beer drinker. The half timbered, ancient buildings were so impressive! Happy Holidays to you and your family John!
Oh my, Cindy. These confections look absolutely delicious. Thanks for making me hungry. 🙂
Well, I would only do this during the holidays! After the holidays, it’s carrots and celery~
I’m alternating carrots and celery with chocolate…it’s all a balancing act. 🙂
This is my kind of diet plan. The chocolate provides some needed calcium or I know you wouldn’t be eating it.
It has wonderful health benefits, as you know…in moderation…of course! That’s the tricky part!
Wowza! Dessert overload just looking at them! 🙂
Yes, almost satisfying!! 😉 😉
lol
I should call you “temptress” for showing us all these treats. 🙂
I’ll take the chocolate tort from the bakery case in the top photo, please. The whole thing. My order is to go.
Smart, smart person! Can I drive you home??????
You just want a slice of that chocolate tort. 🙂
Let’s get two, one for me and one for you! 😉
Oh my, please excuse the heavy drooling! Gained a few pounds staring at your decadent treats, but it’s worth it for a lovely glimpse of Christmas-time Europe. The merriest wishes of the season to you!
I swear I have been sooooo good, but my pants seem to be too tight. I hope the photos aren’t having a psychosomatic effect on me! Happy Holidays!
Wow! I’ll have the Praline Croquant, please! It’s seafood, can’t be that bad, right?
Right! I like the way your mind works!! 🙂 Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Dear Sweet Cindy, Merry Merry Christmas, Special Lady…wishing you and your family the best and wonderful Christmas…
huggs and love to you and your family,
Sherri
Awwww, back to you and your family my dear friend and the Happiest and Healthiest New Year!
that food looks to good, I have been eating candy allllllll day..lol
Uh oh! My bad! Merry Christmas dear Sherri!
Yum! Those all look so delicious! Great photos, Cindy. Happy Holidays! 🙂
Visa versa 2UX2! <3
Oh Cindy what a temptress you are… I’m just going over to check the fridge… Damn nothing but veggies in there, I’ll just have to drool over your photos…
You can eat those veggies, and just constantly repeat to yourself, “this is better than chocolate.” It doesn’t work, but you can still do it!
Haha I will try that mantra but can’t see it working…
Cuidado con las delicatessen navideñas porque hace subir la báscula. 😉
Feliz Navidad, amiga <3
Sí, yo estaba parado en la escala de hoy y todo hasta ahora es bueno, pero se acerca la Navidad!!!!!! Más feliz Navidad para ti mi querido amiga! <3 <3
Even though I just had breakfast, my mouth is watering!
Same here. I won’t do another phatt post for a reasonably long dietary period!
yummy <3
🙂
Looking this Post I am already feeling the festival.
How much they have tried to put them on the counters.
How much you have tried to put them on this Post
Happy Merry Christmas to YOU and ALL at Home.

Oh, my goodness, my mouth is watering — especially at the first two pictures. It puts a new complexion on the words “sweet torture”.
Yes, I would to taste several of those cakes right now! Who cares if I just ate breakfast…..
This has to be the most delicious post ever!! What fun to “stroll” by Christmas treats from all over Europe!! Loved it! Thanks Cindy.
So glad you did my friend and Happy Holidays!
