✨2021 Advent HQ ✨
Pancake and Lulu Advent HQ
Welcome to the Festive Yarn Tasting
The 2021 Advent Calendar is inspired by festive treats and fun drinks in all the colors! Each mini skein is paired with a fun colorful recipe I have found online.
Each day, I post a photo reveal of the day's colorway along with a photo of the inspirational recipe. 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, use the hashtag #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!
🎄Happy Holidays!🎄

Gorgeous! I squeezed 1/2 a clementine into mine!
Surf Cake

Delicious, pretty and easy - naturally colored with blue butterfly pea flower powder - this recipe is actually quite healthy!
Blue Matcha Cake
Recipe Link: Blue Matcha Cake
These are very similar to Day 5 but bite size - (probably not going to make this one since I made the previous recipe).
I didn't realize Blue Butterfly Pea Flower Powder is the same thing as Blue Matcha. Actually I didnt know these even existed before I created this Advent Calendar. It is such a beautiful natural food color.
Violet Hour

This recipe sent me down a Monin Syrup rabbit hole!
Made this beautiful milkshake for my daughter - she loved it!
Ube Crinkle Cookie
Recipe Link: Ube Crinkle Cookie
This color!! It is natural from Ube - a purple yam popular in the Philippines!
The recipe I found for homemade Ube Jam is here . I am using Stokes purple sweet potatoes I found at Whole Foods, since fresh Ube is hard to find in the US.
Purple People Eater

A dark and moody drink!
And I found a simple recipe for homemade sweet and sour mix for this drink here.
Berry Delicious

A healthy, delicious & thick smoothie! You definitely need a high powered blender. A few splashes of pineapple juice helped it blend.
Raspberry Brownies

These were a hit with fresh raspberries and goat and cream cheese - yum!

I love the bit of pink on these! I don't have pitaya powder, so I may have to think of something else...stay tuned for my version!

Not sure I will make these again but the color was spot-on to match my yarn!
