Our grocery stores all carry Black Forest Cake, cheesecake and various other concoctions - plus we have a number of coffee shops that offer tortes and such. In fact, I just had a slice of Black forest that they bought for my birthday.
Sally: almost too perfect to knife up. Not that I think that would stop me ...
Vincent: dur of course I know the Schwarzwald's in Bayern, Southern Deutchland. Sachertorte was my deliberate test piece and hey you passed the test!! That's what I say and I'm sticking to it...
Jeannie: black forest gateau was really popular here in the 1980s. You don't see it so much now.
Talking of shop-bought cakes, my biggest disappointment has been Sara Lee. The icing's like foam, the entire thing puffed up so as little substance as possible remains in it. Not good!
ps why am i thinking of fleeing? because I hate britain. for its pettiness, 2facedness, absolutely annoyingly inept blind idiotic politicians, rudeness, erosion of civil liberties... etc etc etc
Ha, they're gorgeous, love the dragon. There are cake shops all over Germany, Austria and Switzerland and the Patissieries of France of course . . .take your wallet with you! Clare and I did 'high tea' at the hotel we stayed at in Melbourne recently and couldn't cope with the choice! I think I've put on about 3 kilos in a weekend!
I remember seeing a glassified mountain of strawberries atop a pastry in Central France... what I remember equally well was the price ~ as much as a flaky pack of 6 shrivelled English supermarket nearest equivalents...
Damn, Gledwood! I haven't see deserts like those since I lived in Germany in the early '70s. Now my taste buds are watering!
ReplyDeleteSee! Die Deutschsprechenden Länder have something sweet going for them after all~!!!

ReplyDeleteI adore the real fair dinkum Black Forest Cake as made by a German bakery. All others are not very good imitations as fair as I'm concerned.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a big cake fan but MWM loves it! :)

ReplyDeleteI think Vienna sounds spectacular! I hear it's just beautiful.
Can you Air Mail me some of the first chocolate cake? Ha. It looks SO GOOD!
