Birthday baking spree

Backdated because baking is boring. Today, Crocky'll have a birthday gathering with a couple of friends from the theatre troupe and I had said I'd do the cooking for it. When Crocky couldn't remember if any of the friends she had invited were vegetarians we abandoned our plans to do a regular quiche for everybody and I sought alternatives while she went out to buy additional sour cream for the filling in case we'd do two quiches. I ended up doing 24 simple muffin quiche which taste nice and are nice as finger food but definitely too much of a hassle to do it on a regular basis as lunch.

Apart from that, there were blonde cookies and brownies with semi-sweet chocolate: 

...which turned out very popular, which made me very pleased - but I guess chewy brownies with extra chocolate always go down well.

... and a weird poppy seed apple cake (German recipe here). I can't really recommend it, poppy and apple did not really work for me, but it was fun baking: 

Yeah. I left it in the oven ten minutes too long, and that's why the apples I used for decorating are too brown.


The filling without the apples would have been tasty, and the apples without the poppy. Combined... nah.
