Serve this classic German cake when you want to treat your family and friends to a time-honored European classic. Bienenstich Cake, or "bee sting cake" has a rich history. With origins in Germany, the cake is called "bee sting" as it is thought that a bee was attracted to the honey topping on the cake, and that the baker who invented the cake was stung. This cake is traditionally filled with vanilla pastry cream and topped with honey-glazed sliced almonds.

This tender and buttery dough layered with a rich (though unconventional) vanilla pastry cream, and topped with honey sweetened almonds. It's a great ending to a great dinner.

Or enjoy a slice with your afternoon coffee or tea at our Restaurant. We also sell Bienenstich as a whole cake or by the piece at Elke's Deli in Fountain.
 

According to the customers in our Schnitzel Fritz restaurant our Black Forest Cherry Cake is the BEST in town. Wolfgang our Masterbaker from Kusel, Germany, uses the same recipe since 1987!

Josef Keller (1887-1981) is the inventor of the Black Forest cherry cake. Keller was the pastry chef in the Café “Ahrend” (today called Agner) in Bad Godesberg. In the year 1915 he created for the first time what he called a “Schwarzwaelder Kirsch”, or “Black Forest Cherry”.

For larger parties or caterings squares are the way to go.
