These are healthy sweets, taken from a German thermomix Christmas booklet published in 2000, for TM21. As I don't want to make them for Christmas, but just 'sometime' I didn't want to put them in the Christmas section. But we don't have a sweets section. So I decided to liberally interpret the 'cake' thread as being 'cake and sweet things'
