ABOUT

Hi, I’m Hani, the creator of Haniela’s. Welcome to my blog.

WHAT YOU’LL FIND HERE

I created this blog in 2010 as a place to share my recipes and cookie decorating ideas. And over the course of 9 years it became a delicious blend of my loves. I like to create themed, pop culture desserts, decorated cookies, gingerbread house and cakes.

I love traditional pastries like Apple Strudel, Slovak Veternik, Challah bread, Peach Lekvar and savory dishes like Roasted pepper split pea soup and Potato Galette or Perfect Roasted Potatoes. You can find those here as well.

GETTING AROUND

If you are new here, let me show you around the site. It will only take a minute.

There is a Recipe Index where you can browse for recipes by categories. Here on Haniela’s I share both Sweet and Savory Recipes. Sweet Recipes are divided into more detailed categories from breads to cakes, cookies, pastries frozen treats to breakfast and icings.

DECORATED COOKIES

Cookie Decorating is a big part of Haniela’s. I’ve been decorating cookies since 2008.

This section includes cut out cookies, royal icing recipes, useful tips, FAQ, and lots of step by step decorating tutorials.

You’ll find detailed tutorials on how make Gingerbread Houses, Royal Icing Butterflies, Sugar Diamonds and many more. Many of decorating tutorials, cookies, cakes pastries are inspired by popular pop culture themes. Look around, I hope you’ll find something that will inspire you.

Most of the tutorials and recipes also include video step by step directions. I’m constantly working on creating new videos.
