“Alsatian are fond of their pastries. In almost every patisserie, you’ll find a mouthwatering array of fruit tarts made with rhubarb (topped with meringue), wild blueberries, red cherries or yellow mirabelle plums. Cake-lovers should try kugelhopf, a dome-shaped cake with a hollow in the middle made with raisins and almonds. The festivities of the year’s end involve the production of a great variety of biscuits and small cakes called bredele, as well as pain d’épices (gingerbread) which are baked around Christmas time”.
