Hello,
Thank you for posting the recipes, directions and hints for using Springerle molds! I was looking for just such information when I came across your website and plan to keep checking back for updates. I am always searching for new ways to be creative with my numerous cookie molds.

Hi Ken,
My mother is German and I have some excellent Speculaas molds from her family. I know these molds mostly through this way. I also love to bake especially eye-catching things and am planning to bake fancy cookies. I've never made Springerle but I have made many other types of German cookies. Thanks for all your info. Your web page for the Springerle baker is very interesting.

Hi Ken,
My Springerle cookies came out GREAT
I especially LOVE the Baby Bush. Wetting the mold a little gave me FANTASTIC detail! I used the original recipe--4eggs--whipping whites first then folding in 4 cups powdered sugar--etc....I used almond extract flavoring. I made these Springerle shapes:
Bear w/tree, Advent Tree on Table w/lights, Angels, Roses (lightly painted with non-toxic chalks) and "Baby Bush."
By far, my husband and I have gotten more laughs out of the Baby Bush Springerles--the little babies in the Lederhosen are hilarious! My friend from Berlin tasted them and told me they are perfect!
Your recipe came out of the frig too hard to roll out. I wrapped your dough in parchment paper--so perhaps that is why it dried out. I will try it again sometime.
Thanks for the GREAT mold --I had so much fun making the cookies, it took me back to my childhood.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!
Regards, Susan, Oregon.

Ken,
The cookies arrived safe and sound today. They are absolutely amazing!!! You are very, very talented. I really was blown away by the finished product. It almost tastes like there is a light coating of some sort of glaze or frosting on the outside. What is that sweet outer shell? The inside of the cookie has an amazing texture especially when contrasted to the outer shell.
The mold pattern was fantastic.
I will definitely use you again in the future. Truly outstanding.
Thank you.

Thank-you, Mr. Hamilton!
My father won't share! We all received the cookies in great shape. They are beautiful! I might add that I just got back from Garmisch (Germany) and asked every bakery there if they had Springerles. None of them did! They said they were too difficult to make.
Have a Merry Christmas!

I am sure my dad will love the flavor of your cookies, but he will also deeply appreciate the beauty of them. They are so beautiful!!! I am so thrilled to be able to send him such a special gift. Thank you so much for the extra effort of the beautiful card to go with them. I will be sure to have him look at your site after he opens his gift. He will really enjoy reading all the information about you and the springerles.

Dear Ken,
Thank you for shipping my order so quickly. It was unexpected since I ordered so close to Christmas. The speedy arrival was a nice surprise. The cookies are delicious and arrived in perfect condition.
The impression/designs on the cookies are perfect and quite intricate.
I will highly recommend your cookies (really they are almost, but not quite too pretty to eat).
I will order again soon. Easter is only a few months away.
Thank you for your encouragement to try again to bake them, but I have a feeling that it is like making pie crusts. You really must make home-made pies more than twice a year and have more than 2/3 people to make it worthwhile.

With sincerely appreciation,

Hi Ken,
I wanted to let you know that I received the cookies on Friday (1/19).
My friend and I went out on Saturday for the "birthday celebration" dinner. This is the first time ever in probably 20 years that I had managed to get the "Perfect Gift".
He loved the cookies. They were both beautiful and delicious. We appreciated the samples...loved all flavors.
Will be ordering more in the near future. Thanks again for your prompt and kind service.

Sincerely, Loretta Seiss

I LOVE THE COOKIES. THEY ARE THE BEST TASTING, MOST LUXURIOUS LICORICE COOKIES I HAVE EVER TASTED. THANK YOU!!
I would have written sooner but my internet access was messed up. Thank you again. My sister and 2 nieces and I have thoroughly enjoyed them.

Hello,
The cookies arrived today and they are not only exquisite looking but delicious!! I am going to have to hide them from my husband so he doesn't eat too many before the event I am passing them out at. Thank you so much. Once again, you have given us exceptional service.

Best,
Laurie
