German bakeries are my weakness, and when I step inside, I lose control. Overhead dozen varieties of fantastic smelling breads are displayed begging to be devoured. Pretzels, rolls and speciality breads fill the counters and it takes every ounce to resist. But it's the pastry that really gets me. I simply cannot turn my back on the daily sweet selection and seasonal specialties.
Being the self proclaimed desert connoisseur that I am, I feel it is my duty to educate those back home about this country's semi-hidden talent (Black Forest Cake is just the tip of the iceberg). Considering the stiff competition from Germany's "A-list" neighbors, it is no wonder their secret hasn't traveled far. So I thought I should do a post to get the word out, but first I had some serious research to do. Below are some of my study materials:
 |
| Berry Meringue Pie |
 |
| Plum Cake (way tastier than it looks!) |
Apple Cake (to celebrate the New Year German style)
 |
| Banana Chocolate Brownie Cake |
yum! i want the banana choc one ;)
