And so it goes, another successful Doughnut Day at MobileRead.

Donuts are all well and fine but German pastries, oh my, this is another class of delight entirely.
(Where's that cravings thread?)

oh, i agree !! german cakes and pastries are soooo good ! i love them because they're not too sweet and they don't use much butter-cream in general (i hate butter-cream, bleargh). of course, german cakes and polish cakes are pretty similar, and i was raised on my grandmother's polish cooking (she's an excellent cook), so it's in my blood. i can't help but love them.
german bread is delicious too ! schwartzbrot, mmmm !!!!
