Baking Museum at Medemblik

When we arrived to Medemblik, the girls decided that they want to visit the baking museum.

As the girls entered the museum, they saw a baker handling cookies cutter to children. This baker is very friendly with young kids. The girls helped to cut the dough using cookies cutter. The girls were happily helping him.

As he was baking cakes and cookies for sale too, the girls had the opportunity to help him. They unwrapped the butter, weighing the sugar to pouring baking flour into big mixer and rolling cookies dough. It was fun. This baker barely speaks English. But he tried his best to speak one or two words to communicate with the girls.
