Not Just Ice Cream

This was one slice (ein stück) that I cut into 2. 

I feel that I am letting those cake-over-ice-cream-eaters down if I don't mention some about the cakes here.  Afternoon is not only ice cream time.  It can also be cake and coffee time.  Can't really go wrong with either choice in my book.

The cakes here can be huge.  I am not one to share a piece of cake.  In the US, it may happen because I made the mistake of eating too much at dinner.  Here it is because sometimes there is just no way.

I haven't seen anything like what we call German Chocolate Cake.  Which is a little sad, because chocolate and coconut are so good together.  I was happy to find Schwarzwald Kuche though (Black Forest Cake).  As you can see in the picture it was a good size portion, but it was so much lighter than what I'm used to that I was able to eat it.  Notice how thin the cake layers are and that it's cream not icing in between.  Also note the raspberry cream cake in the back. 


I feel that there is a lot of cake exploring to do.  So many types to try.  So many things to learn for baking purposes.  Yes, of course, it is just for research to tell you and for expanding my baking repertoire that I will do this!

Be a Berliner, have some cake and coffee today!
