Wiesn Gaudi” (kind of refers to the fun you have at Oktoberfest which is also called “Wiesn”, the German word for meaddow) As a lifelong lover of gingerbread, I jumped at the chance to make these jam-filled biscuits – and I’m glad I did, because it was worth it for the smell of the spices wafting through the house alone.

Lebkuchen comes in various sizes, flavors, and textures, and is made with a variety of ingredients, mostly nuts and spices. You might also hear Lebkuchen locally referred to as Honigkuchen (honey cake) or Pfefferkuchen (pepper cake). Add the brown sugar, Lebkuchen Spice Mix, baking powder, and salt to a mixing bowl (or the food processor or the bowl of a stand mixer). Mix with a whisk or spoon until combined They’re the kind of biscuits that most families make because they’re so easy,” says Dunk of Lebkuchenherzen. “The dough is sturdy so children can roll it out nicely and cut shapes out without worrying too much that they will break.” Note – I experimented with a cooked sugar glaze but found it much harder to work with.

Lebkuchenherz translates as "gingerbread heart in English." "Lebkuchen" is the German word for Gingerbread. "Herz" means "Heart" in English. These gingerbread hearts are sometimes too pretty to eat. But how long do these pretty heart-shaped cakes last? Do not worry. A Lebkuchenherz can last for up to two years! If it gets too hard to eat, simply place it in the fridge for a while, and it will soften. Another tip is to place it in an airtight container with some apples, which will soften the cake again.

Don't leave Oktoberfest without a Lebkuchenherz or also commonly known as Wiesnherz, an opulently decorated German Gingerbread Heart. It's THE WAY to express your feelings about someone else at Oktoberfest! What Are Wiesnherzen? Lebkuchenherzen (Gingerbread hearts in English) are heart-shaped Lebkuchen. Some are small chocolate-covered, jam-filled hearts, while others are much larger and decorated with intricate icing designs and lettering.I try them anyway. They’re certainly crisp! Despite the very scorched edges, there’s hints of ginger and the dashes of chocolate and sea salt are nice. I’ll definitely make them again (and keep a closer eye on the temperature and timings!) These hearts are quite expensive and I was really surprised how easy it is to make the dough and just bake them myself. If you make only a few of them, then the icing and writing aren’t too much trouble either … it’s just that I always make so many of them, that at the end my hands hurt from all the decorating. Here are two wonderful romantic comedies films that are very well done and I know you will enjoy them. Oktoberfest Gingerbread hearts are incredibly popular souvenirs from the great folk festival and a Wiesn heart makes a wonderful gift or decoration.

In fact, the most famous gingerbread in all of Germany comes from the Franconian city of Nürnberg (Nuremberg), which exports lebkuchen all over the world. To make the chocolate glaze, chop the dark chocolate and add a bit of oil (vegetable, coconut, etc). Slowly melt the chocolate in the microwave on 15-20 second intervals or in a double boiler on stove (or place a glass bowl over a saucepan that has simmering water it in). Stir frequently. I have a fondness for both kinds of Lebkuchenherzen! My German boyfriend bought me a big decorated Lebkuchenherz when I first arrived in Germany as a teen and I kept it for YEARS (it might actually still be in my parents’ garage).Culture Trips are deeply immersive 5 to 16 days itineraries, that combine authentic local experiences, exciting activities and 4-5* accommodation to look forward to at the end of each day.
