In Der Weihnachtsbäckerei Lyrics in English Rolf Zuckowski

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song In Der Weihnachtsbäckerei by Rolf Zuckowski from German to English.
In the Christmas bakery
There's many a treat
Between flour and milk
Many a rascal makes
A huge, huge mess
In the Christmas bakery
In the Christmas bakery
Where's the recipe gone
For the cookies we love?
Who swiped the recipe
Snatched
Well, then we gotta tackle it
Just bake it by feel
Fire up the oven
And go!
In the Christmas bakery
There's many a treat
Between flour and milk
Many a rascal makes
A huge, huge mess
In the Christmas bakery
In the Christmas bakery
Don't we need chocolate
Honey, nuts and candied peel
And a little cinnamon?
That's right
Stir butter, flour and milk
Sneak a taste in between
And then the egg goes in
All done
In the Christmas bakery
There's many a treat
Between flour and milk
Many a rascal makes
A huge, huge mess
In the Christmas bakery
In the Christmas bakery
Please step aside
'Cause we need room to knead
Are the fingers clean?
You pig!
When the cookies we cut out
First sit on the baking sheets
We wait, full of suspense
Burnt
In the Christmas bakery
There's many a treat
Between flour and milk
Many a rascal makes
A huge, huge mess
In the Christmas bakery
In the Christmas bakery

SONG MEANING

Welcome to the sweetest place of the holiday season – the "Weihnachtsbäckerei," or Christmas bakery! In this playful classic by Swiss children’s songwriter Rolf Zuckowski, a bunch of excited kids dive head-first into cookie making. The song paints a vivid scene: flour clouds the air, milk splashes, and someone always ends up smearing batter everywhere. When the all-important recipe suddenly goes missing, nobody panics. They crank up the oven, trust their taste buds, and improvise with butter, honey, nuts, candied fruit, a hint of cinnamon, and plenty of laughter.

Beyond the mess, the lyrics celebrate creativity, teamwork, and the irresistible joy of baking together. The children tease each other about washing their sticky fingers, eagerly watch the cookies rise, and learn that a few burnt edges are just part of the fun. “In Der Weihnachtsbäckerei” captures the warm, chaotic spirit of family kitchens at Christmastime, reminding us that the best holiday treats are flavored with spontaneity, friendship, and a sprinkle of childlike wonder.
