Kaffee und Kuchen

I made a little sign for my kitchen to honor the
German tradition of Kaffee und Kuchen.

These signs are so fun and easy to make.

 I use the same method for all my signs.

1st: Use a piece of found wood

2nd: Paint or stain it.

3rd: Find a font that suits the

sign. This one is

Edwardian Script in 220 point size

for the Kaffee, Kuchen, and 150

size for the und

printed in outline setting

4th: Trace it onto the board using

carbon paper.

5th: Use a Sharpie to paint in the

letters.

 Hang it in the space reserved for
the ever-changing signs!

Under my open kitchen cabinet.

I got the inspiration from my German

Kaffee bean grinder. I tried to find a font that

closely matched it's German-look.

While the British have tea and scones, the 

Germans have Kaffee und Kuchen 

(coffee & cake). Traditionally around 4pm 

Germans may go to a cafe or visit friends and
family to meet zum Kaffe (for coffee). 

Obviously, this isn't happening everyday, but

 the tradition is a wonderful way to get
together at least occasionally,
 especially on birthdays. 

Being invited zum Kaffe always means
there'll be cake!

This is the chocolate skillet cake
we devoured this weekend.

Cheers!
