Patterned Shortbread made with my beautiful shortbread pan

 I love to collect baking equipments, it's purely pleasure, no reason ^^ and I know that if you love to bake you will be the same as me.

 I think it's not right or wrong, we can have a simple happiness when using them, baking with them or just looking at them , haha. I still have a lot of equipment that I didn't have a chance to use it, well better to have it while I can ^^.
This time is a beautiful shortbread pan, when making shortbread with it, you will get beautiful pattern. Actually I think that my first time using this pan is not that beautiful as I wanted. Because I brushed too much butter, some parts of the pattern is not sharp, anyway it's not bad (haha, I'm optimistic). My niece can assure it by eating 3 pieces of them, hehe. 
If you have the same pan as me, this may be the right time to try it ^_- but if you don't have it you can use 23x23cm pan instead.
