Honey Bear cakes

Today found this easy recipe on the net - suitable to make with the kids - (easytoddlerrecipes.co.uk or allrecipes.co.uk) and tried it out - yummy. Someone unable to resist the delicious smell of homebaking ate 2 straight off the cooling rack.
Ingredients:
2 eggs, 225 gr sugar, 240 ml oil (we found this too much so willl use less next time), 5-6 tablespoons honey, 225 gr sugar (again will use less next time), 60 gr walnuts (optional), 315 gr flour (used half wholemeal), 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, half teaspoon vanilla.
Oven 180 degrees C. A sheet of baking paper on the baking tray. Beat well eggs, sugar and oil in a bowl. Add all other ingredients adding enough flour until you get a soft dough. Shape balls of dough and flatten slightly for the head and body etc. Or use a cookie cutter. We used currents for the eyes. Bake until the edges are slightly brown.

2 æg, 225 gr rå rørsukker, 240 ml madolie til bagning, 5-6 spsk. honning, 315 gr mel, 1 tesk. natron, 1 tesk. kanel, ½ tesk. vanilla, evt. 60 gr hakkede valnødder. (Jeg brugte grahams mel og hvedemel og næste gang vil jeg bruge mindre olie og sukker).

Ovn 180 grader C. Bagepapir på bagepladen. Pisk æg, sukker og olie i skål. Tilsæt/bland alle resterende ingredienser. Tilsæt ekstra mel hvis nødvendig - skal være blød dej. Form bamserne eller brug en cookie cutter. Bag indtil lys brun ved kanterne.
 
Bears love honey and the Teddy Bear Museum shop has ample stocks - no surprise there then!

An old cat on wheels and "cousins" from Australia!

The old cat is a Steiff from 1919. The teddy bear museum has good collection of really interesting, old bears and other stuffed toys.

Gammel Steiff kat på hjul, 1919.
 Koalas are not really bears - they are marsupials and like kangaroos their babies grow in pouches on mum's tummy. Originally toy koalas were made from kangaroo skins - but now mostly cuddly, soft, washable modern materials. 

Koala familien klatrer på eucalyptus træet og baggrund viser Tasmanien
og Sydney. To af bamserne
(i midten) er lavet af kanguru pels.

En god dag til en sejltur på havet ...

 and then perhaps som lunch at the harbour ...

og frokost ved havnen ...

New Bjørn Nørgaard sculpture and a family visit

Last weekend I took the youngest member (3rd generation) of my human family to visit the Teddy Bear Museum. We admired the new Bjørn Nørgaard bear sculpture out front.

Kunstneren og Bamsemuseets direktør, Jonna Thyggesen, har
gjort store indsats for at støtte kræftsyge børn på Skejby Sygehus.


 Then we looked at the displays inside - finding some favorites. In a little boy's opinion this meant any teddy smart enough to have some form of motorised transport. The new boathouse with play space was also a hit. 


Montren med Falkstationen og Postbud Per var en hit

You might just see the bear family enjoying themselves in Skagen!

The perfect summer activity - ice-cream at the Iscafé. Or driving around town with the hood down.

Den perfekte sommer aktivitet - is ved iscaféen. Eller i bilen med kalechen nede.
