Holiday Specialties
All of our Holiday Specialties are made by hand on location! We highly recommend placing your orders early.
Pfeffernusse Cookies
(Available in store now)
Our Family recipe handmade traditional German Christmas spice cookie. Made and baked with love and hand rolled in powdered sugar. We use only the best real ingredients for this spicy cookie, just like our Grandpop (and great grandpop) used to make! This heavenly cookie was featured in AAA Explorer Magazine Winter 2021. "Mapping America Holiday Foods"
Springerle Cookies
(We are now taking advance orders for Springerle.)
Another of our very popular handmade Christmas cookies. The specialty cookies are traditionally a harder anise flavored cookie. However, our Springerle cookies tend to be a little softer as we make them in December. (If you prefer them to be harder, take them out of the package when you get them home and let them "dry out" for a few days - they will then be ready to dunk in your choice of hot beverage!) These cookies are a light in color rectangular cookie which has a relief picture on the front. These little darlings take days to make and every year we lovingly make these cookies, again, following just how grandpop and great grandpop made them. (And if time allows we will make a few small batches of Lemon Springerle, please call ahead for availability)
Traditional Gingerbread Cookies and Houses
(Available December 4th until December 31st or while supplies last.)
This is our recipe that has been handed down through our family for generations. If you're looking for the gingerbread cookie of your childhood, this is it! We make several different sizes of gingerbread boys as well as gingerbread girls and our very popular handmade and hand decorated gingerbread houses.
Christmas Stollen
(Available on order and then instore the week before Christmas.)
This is a German sweet bread that is made for the Christmas holiday season. We make two varieties - Our ever popular "Traditional" which is made with raisins and candied cherry topped with a white frosting (also available with powdered sugar or plain); And The Dresdener Stollen - a denser version with candied fruit, sultans, raisins, and slivered almonds. (We also make the Dresdener with a ribbon of marzipan inside.) Both versions of Dresdener Stollen are brushed with butter and then the top is pressed into vanilla sugar for a snow capped look!
Yule Log
(We recommend placing your order. Yule logs will be available in store on a first come first served basis.)
A yearly favorite! Ours are handmade with vanilla cake, a sumptuous chocolate butter cream filling and a decadent fudge ganache frosting. Our Yule logs are hand decorated with our own signature vanilla buttercream frosting holly leaves and berries, poinsettia flower and our own handmade meringue mushrooms. A dusting of powdered sugar finishes the look!
