Today we baked delicious Utrecht shortbread and delicious they certainly are! Unfortunately they do not win the beauty contest. We did our best but it takes skill and strong muscles to pipe the dough neatly. We don't have either yet ;)) but we will keep practicing. Never give up! say our sweet monsters OXO
