Description
Kreutzkamm Baumkuchen glazed with vanilla sugar coating is a masterpiece of traditional German pastry making and one of the Conditorei’s signature specialties. The delicate batter is baked layer by layer over an open flame, creating the characteristic golden rings that give Baumkuchen—literally “tree cake”—its name. Kreutzkamm finishes its classic Baumkuchen with a coating of fine vanilla glaze, complementing the buttery, lightly almond-scented cake with a rich bittersweet finish.
Presented in an elegant gift box, Kreutzkamm Baumkuchen makes an impressive choice for Christmas, birthdays, anniversaries, hostess gifts, or anyone who appreciates exceptional European pastries. Traditionally served in Germany during Advent and Christmas, Baumkuchen is wonderful sliced thinly and enjoyed with coffee or tea. Because producing its many individual layers requires patience and considerable skill, Baumkuchen has long been regarded as the “King of Cakes” (König der Kuchen) and a showcase of the German confectioner’s craft. Kreutzkamm still makes its Baumkuchen by hand using traditional methods and family recipes.
