I don’t really like French cakes which is probably a good thing seeing I would be tempted to have them every day if I did. Without a doubt they look amazing but they’re just not tasty in my opinion.

Thankfully there is one good German bakery in Paris so if I ever get a craving for a kase sahne torte (cream cheese cake with mandarin) I can just head over to the 17th rather than heading across the border.

Some German cakes we had in Berlin last year including the biggest cream puff I’ve ever seen in my life:
