Our house speciality
The Rieskratertorte
We layer light sponge and chocolate sponge with arrack buttercream, top it with marzipan and coat the cake in dark couverture. The slanted layers recall the Ries crater, and every slice carries a Geopark Ries plaque.
From Nördlingen
The Gerd Müller cake
Gerd Müller was born in Nördlingen in 1945. For his cake, we fill light sponge layers with kirsch buttercream and lingonberry jam, set them off with golden brittle and top them with pistachio marzipan. Similar to a Frankfurter Kranz, each slice carries a white chocolate plaque showing his name and famous shot.
