Tomorrow is Pentecost and then the little monsters are having a doll tea. So today we are baking the biscuits, they will be small doves, they go well with Pentecost. The biscuits are quickly made, cutting with the tiny cookie cutter is fun. It works really well with small hands. The doves are very cute! Let's wait and see how many little doves are left tomorrow, because we'll have a taste first of course!
