There are few things better in life than German pastries. At least that has been my experience with the pastries made around Nuremberg. For a people supposedly known for heavy beers, heavy sausages, and sauerkraut their pastries are pure, unadulterated, heaven. I have not found anything like them here in the US. Light, delicate, fluffy, very lightly dusted with powdered sugar, somehow balancing the dough, the fruit, and the sweet sugar in harmony.

Donuts are all well and fine but German pastries, oh my, this is another class of delight entirely.

(Where's that cravings thread?)

She came back twice just to write down more info including "mobileread.com" and was going to tell her husband that night that she absolutely had to have one.

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

that is an impressive result, vr !! spreading not only the doughnut love but the liseuse love on mobileread doughnut day, it doesn't get any better !

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 !!!!

It's Doughnut Day again soon. Right?

benham · 09-18-2009, 11:11 PM

We are going to celebrate our donut day on Sunday. Our favorite restaurant makes their own cinnomon roles and they are HUGE and sticky, and great!

RWood · 09-19-2009, 12:18 AM

Isn't everyday donut day?

vivaldirules · 09-25-2009, 04:17 PM

One more week to go! Let's see, I need a plan. I could just buy a dozen doughnuts and bring them to work next Friday. Or I could bake a pie - maybe apple this time. Or maybe a loaf of banana nut bread. Or something exotic I've never tried before. I'll have to decide tonight so I'm fully prepared by Doughnut Day!

I'm being limited in my diet for a while, but chocolate is allowed.
chocolate cake donut, chocolate frosting, topped with chocolate chips.

mmmmmm.....
