German Cakes look AMAZING (American reaction)

In the past, cutlery was made of silver (silverware) and when cutting harder cakes (e.g. crumble) the thin prongs would bend, so one prong was reinforced. However, this prong is not sharpened.

Rayne, for Americans I would recommend the Frankfurter Kranz. This is probably the sweetest cake.

Black Forest gateau, eggnog, torte and sponge cake all contain alcohol. If you have children with you, you should ask beforehand.

In northern Germany, people tend to eat cake and tea. Especially on the North Sea coast and islands. Tea is more dominant than coffee.

The motto there is "cake under 300g is a cookie"

try zwiebelkuchen or onion cake and no its not sweet but it is very good

hehehe well we are tea and koffee trinkers if you go to northern germany the frisians trink more tea than the britts

There is this elder ladies tradition coming together oncer per week and indulging in Cakes and Peatries.
Udo Jügerns did even once a dark humored song about it ABER BITTE MIT SAHNE ( But please with Cream )
for example on >ouTube: Udo Jürgens - Aber bitte mit Sahne ( Udo live ´77 12.3.1977) put on the Net by Udo Jürgens
( HERE, in frrst line meant was Whipped Cream; still as a fun fact: Originally the song had been forbidden in parts of the Germanic Cuture Zone due to the included double meaning )

4.05 In Germany we differ between Bäckereien und Konditoreien. The second is specialised on more elaborate Cakes and Cake like deserts. But since you have the term KONDITOREI in English even that nice Lady is on the loose.
Point is the professional training between a Baker and a Konditor is somewhat different also.

I like your presentation, regrettably I just are allowed to give only ! One Tump Up !
Germany, a TEA DRINKING COUNTRY ??
Not so wrong, especially in North Germany you find a lot of folks just drinking tea. Also the classic Prussians had been stout Tea Drinkers .ike my Grandmother, born and raised as a true blue, Emperor loyal woman, she drank tea but never coffee.

Her not using eggs easy going. Me searching every bakery at my place for sth sweet without egg, pointless.

****in Germany, people usually bake themselves on weekends. I bake bread, rolls and cakes every weekend. Fresh and always delicious. I learned to bake from my grandmother and of course I also cook. Now I'm a grandma myself and my granddaughter loves my cakes. Oh and by the way, I got a recipe from my great-grandmother for a very traditional Christmas cake: Dresdener Christstollen. Only for Christmas from the region Dresden - Saxony in east Germany. You can search all these things in Google.

So let's put it this way: in Germany there are cakes that are made with cream and buttercreams, and there is often fruit in them. Then there is something called sheet cakes because they are baked in one large piece on a baking sheet - for example: with fruit such as plum cake, apple pie with crumble, butter cake..... these are often yeast cakes. then there are sponge cakes for example marble cakes, nut cakes, lemon cakes and so on. Very diverse and *

austrias especially viennas coffe and cake culture is much more superior to germany .. i feel offended .. xD

zwetschgendatschi is very delicious, also milirahmstrudel

A Vegan ist to stupid for hunting

Men like to gossip too, especially when having Frühschoppen.

"Schwarzwälderkisch-Torte" is my favorite! I can eat a whole cake...

I guess our "gedeckter" Kuchen is nearly like a pie.

You thought Germany is a "tea" Country? Most of us, don't even know, what tea is! We're at least 95% Coffee drinkers. Well, maybe I lie, I don't know the exact %.😃

I miss my Oma's Erdbeertorte. I have all her recipes but they're never the same when it's not baked or cooked by Oma.

If you ever come to visit Germany, be our guest. Including your wife and your children.
I'm a quiet good baker. 😊
Thank you for your Videos!

She didn't really explain the distinction between Kuchen and Torte properly.
Kuchen means the whole thing is finished when it comes out of the oven and Torte is a cake that has to be assembled after baking. It might be a layered cake with cream fillings in between the cake layers or custard or fruit jelly or some other tasty stuff might get put on top of the baked cake.

and of course papageienkuchen, the staple of so many children's birthday parties

No Aspartam, thanks for the offer

My favorite is black forest cake - original from the black forest ❤️

cake empire

you didnt see the german cake in this video because its not original from germany =D its just his name ^^

Some of these "german" cakes Look like what we would call "Kalte Schnautze" but these cakes you've Shows are definitely not german

Just to clarify Ryan, German Chocolate Cake is NOT from Germany. It was created by someone named German. I actually just came back from a three week trip to Germany and I can confirm that they don't do cakes like we do here. Their cakes and Tortes are actually made with pure ingredients and not any preservatives like here in the states. They would actually find cake mixes like Pillsbury and Duncan Haines to be TOO sweet

The cherries on the Frankfurter Kranz are not fresh , they are candied cherries .

German chocolate cake is non existant in Germany. Cakes in Germany taste amazing and have so many different flavors u can't find in the U.S.

i guess the stereotypical kafeeklatsch would be with just old ladys, but anyone of any gender is invited to enjoy cake and coffee
edit: and the gossip of course

Ryan, first of all Americans have no clue what coffee is. Kaffee und Kuchen is a very old tradition and is very wellknown.
Yes, the US has some variation on the classic Schwarzwalder Kirschtorte (Black Forest Gateau). Obviously not exactly the same thing, but a nice look alike. However, seeing what the FDA considers safe for consumption, is often banned outside the US. (Think crap like Red 40, Yellow 5, etc etc) So, probably the ones you can get in the US, are forbidden for consumption in Germany.

the side of the dessert thing isnt sharp, it cuts with his construcktion.
and a normel German Cake has no Colorful icing on it
But it coms from America over with Cooki decorating and Cake like yours
it is not only on sunday

btw: mor fun is sweden. They eat Kaka for a Fika :)

A friend brought up in india went to germany and only was offered herbal teas . She bought a pack of black tea leaves the next time she went to germany and left it with the inlaws . A year kater found the same pack untouched . Coffee was always available

Vegan cake ist crap

...the difference between cake and pie is, that a pie is covered with dough...

If you are afraid of the dessert fork then you must be terrifier by the Göffel

Watch out... Vegans are everywhere 😂

When German cafe and cake culture is casually older than the US as a nation xD

Hey Ryan!!! Greetings from GERMANY!!! Yes, i've been here on holiday for three ways and YES the desserts are SO DELICIOUS!!!! Best thing about this country!

Yea, as usual the vegan bullshit gets much more space in the video than it has in the real world... I live in the biggest metropolis in Europe (Ruhrgebiet) and I would have to put in some real effort and travel to find a vegan pattiserie.

Every cake I saw in the US named German something wasn't German at all. 😂

And they are better

Ganz Europa bäckt gut Torten oder Kuchen.
Frankreich besonders die kleinen Teile 😋 Konditorei en

Bienenstich is one of my favorites, as well as many hazelnut Kranzes which are a birthday tradition in my family

Vegan cake is the German answer to Pizza with broccoli. ;) Cake dough needs eggs. Nowadays that is for example 6 eggs in a marble cake baked from 280g flour. In our grandparents' times, no cake was made with less than 15 eggs. I think I will try that. :)

We have Plumkake from Augsburg. In Bavaria it's called Zwetschgendatschi. Or Datschi. So the people from Augsburg are called the Datschiburger 😂

I really enjoyed your videos and comments and learning more about the world around me. Hope to try many of these types of food

I had once Dr. Peper, and I regret drinking it, actually you can buy Dr. Pepper also in Germany, but it tastes like shit. I´m not gonna lie

The biggest difference is your cake would end up with us rather in the hazardous waste because of all the chemicals and carcinogens and not for nothing almost banned in all other countries.
It is actually inconceivable what is expected of you.

it never occured to me until now that having coffee and cake in the afternoon might not be a thing in other countries! It's pretty much the definition of normality in germany
