Pancake and Lulu 2024 Advent HQ

Welcome to the Festive Yarn Tasting

 

The 2024 Advent Calendar is inspired by all new festive treats and fun drinks in all new colors! Each mini skein is paired with a fun colorful recipe I have found online.  

 

Each day of December, visit this page to see a new photo reveal of the day's colorway along with photos and links to the inspirational recipe and my recreation attempts (ha!) and notes. I encourage everyone to try some of the recipes with me! 


You can follow along with me on instagram @pancakeandlulu and my YouTube channel: Pancake and Lulu Yarn and Fiber.

 

  If you use Instagram or Ravelry, please tag me! Use the hashtag #pancakeandlulu and @pancakeandlulu to post your daily yarn and/or a special treat of the day (whatever it may be)! 

 

Thank you for purchasing the Advent Calendar and for supporting Pancake and Lulu Yarn ~ I had a blast creating this for you.
Enjoy your stitching, sipping and nibbling!

My Earl Grey Cupcakes

I modified yesterday's Earl Grey Cake recipe into cupcakes!  Oh boy, they are good - next time I will add more earl grey tea, as it is a little subtle in flavor, but nice - and we loved the honey in the buttercream icing!  I added some black Wilton food color for the icing and it is already a greenish blue black, so I think it looks great - but maybe I could have gone a little lighter!

 

Day 2 - Blueberry Cookie

I’m making the Euphorbia Wrap by Ambah O’Brien as part of her Festive KAL over on Ravelry!  I am holding my Advent sparkle fingering double along with a strand of undyed lace-weight Baby Alpaca Yak Silk. Pattern by Ambah O'Brien. Link: My project for Ambah's Festive KAL on Ravelry.

Day 3 - Butterfly Blue Oats

My first overnight oats and so pretty and delicious.  I subbed in peanut butter and regular milk. Also used 2 tsp. butterfly pea powder in the water instead of the flowers called for.  Definitely a keeper.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Day 4 - Aviation Cocktail

Very good but the color didn't come out the same at all!  I used Monin Violette syrup and it was a deep purple, so that was the reason.  Also garnished with frozen blueberries and that was so pretty!

My smoothie was delicious! I uses blue spirulina becasue that was what I had on hand.  The blue color was gorgeous but more of a periwinkle.

Day 9 - Mint Meringue

These were so delicious and easy - they do take 3 hours of mostly-waiting time, though.  I tried to use a pastry bag to make them pretty but the mini chips got stuck in my widest tip.  No matter, I ended up just dalloping teaspoon size piles and in the end, they were eaten up so fast!
