Also, you should post the recipe on recipezaar.com You might get some good input.

so much for googling “gnuplot” :)

You should properly try a Danish recipe, like http://www.kageopskrifter.dk/Smaa%20kager/Vaniliekranse.htm

or

http://www.dr.dk/Mad/Temaopskrifter/2005/12/080058.htm

or perhaps

http://www.dk-kogebogen.dk/opskrift2/visopskrift.php?id=182&Jul&Vanillekranse%20(ca%20150%20stk)

this will of cause only help you somewhat, as you now have to reverse engineer the Danish language ;)

ps. make a plot of it when you’re done!
