Hi Steph,
I just see this topic today  Gingerbread ist very traditional in Germany. Mainly from Nurnberg, but itīs different from the ones you use for building houses. Itīs soft and you pipe the mass on a wafer.
Geograpical there are more and, in my eyes, better cakes in the south of Germany and of course in Austria. All the famouse cakes are from that region. Exaption is the christmas stollen form Dresden.
If you need further help -just ask. Iīll try my best. |

We'd like to help, but it might be productive to tell us what you have so far, or what areas are still lacking... |

gingerbread houses, candycanes, gingerbread cookies, advent calendars, apple strudel, stollen
Germans, among the world's largest consumers of almonds, pride themselves on their fruit-studded yeast bread, the Christmas stolen. Tucked inside the dough is a plump log of marzipan. When eating stolen, the trick is to taste a small nibble of marzipan with each bite of the buttery cake.
marzipan roses
viennese pastries
Under such pastries are: the Sacher Torte which is a rich chocolate sponge cake glazed with jam and chocolate frosting.
the Dobos Torte is eight thin layers of sponge cake separated by chocolate buttercream filling.
the Linzer Torte is two shortbread-like layers filled with preserves.
Also known for Springerles, originally were served in celebration of the winter solstice known as Julfest, made in shapes of little horses, now made into rectangular molds or rolled with a specially carved rolling pin.
the wooden cookie molds which are molded from originals in Germany
a mold with Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus on a journey and they knew it was a Protestant mold because the baby Jesus had rays of light coming from his head, which is a protestant symbol.
The Germans use a special carved rolling pin
[blocked] in the way it is known in the US or UK is very new to Germany. German cake designs are mostly made with marzipan. Most of the weddings cakes are decorated with marzipan roses. Traditionaly the design was/is more plain.
Cake decorating done by non-professionals is very new. In the moment there are only 3 books available (all translated from english) and only one school is running courses. 2 years ago only 4 food colors (red, yellow, blue and green) were available and a self-made birthday cake looked like a plain bundt cake with candles on top.
You can only get sugarpaste in Austria and have to import all the other stuff (no shop or online-shopping available!!!). In Germany there are some online-shops, so you can get Wilton products (since ~5 years). Fondant is available from several companies since 10-12 years. Most of the stuff you can buy is imported from the UK, like colors, modelling tools etc. and there is a small range of cutters made in Germany.
Take a look at http://www.tortentraum-brauner.de/index-1.html it's a german cake-board and you can view the galleries (at the bottom) with out becoming a member. Those cakes are done by non-professionals - so you can see the standart of [blocked] here. Mainly novelty cakes are done, rarely flowers and 3D cakes.
