I tried a magic cake at a friends house the other week and loved it. I was impressed that it´s made with only 1 batter and yet it comes out from the oven with 3 layers. When I explained the cake to my husband, he asked if I could try it with saffron instead of the traditionally vanilla taste. So, I did, and it was a hit, the whole family loved it.

These Alsatian Christmas cookies are shaped as mini bretzels and topped with a sweet glazing. The glaze can be made with any taste you prefere. It is common to make these cookies long in advance before Christmas, as early as in November. This has to do with that the cookies are usally placed in a tin box with a baking paper.
