1)




Just add 2 matchstick to create an X before the I (XI -> 11 in roman numeration)




2)




Your image is wrong, there are many more matchstick in your picture (or the proportion are kinda bad), so i made a new one by myself and i moved the roof horizontally in the center. In the image, there are 8 small squares and 3 big one, made by 4 small squares (sorry for my bad art, i'm a programmer, not an artist C:) enter image description here




3)




In the image below, there are 2 big squares and one small square in the middle by moving the 2 on the top right and the 2 on the bottom left: enter image description here

    Move the two roof sticks between the two horizontal sticks. This will create 8 small squares and 3 bigger squares (I think the pciture in the question is drawn a bit wrong, they horizontal sticks should have bigger distance)

This Kransekake is a traditional Scandinavian baker's confection. Confectionery is the art of making confections , which are food items that are rich in sugar and carbohydrates.
