Ocktoberfest began as the celebration of the marriage between Prince Ludwig and Princess Therese on October 12, 1810 in Munich, Germany. The townspeople were invited to join in the celebration. They enjoyed it so much they requested the celebration to continue the following year. Today, Oktoberfest is the largest beer festival in the world celebrated from the middle of September to the beginning of October. A single wedding celebration turned into an 18-day festival celebrating the food and drink of Bavarian culture?! 

Bring the celebration of Oktoberfest to your home this fall with some help from Tiffany’s Bakery! We have a variety of German-inspired sweets that will complete your Oktoberfest spread.

Apple Strudel. Originally from Vienna, Apple Strudel has become a popular German pastry, Apfelstrudel. The world translates to “whirlpool” because the pastry is a swirl of apple and strudel. Tiffany’s Bakery offers a delicious Apple Pie that mimics a flaky strudel crust with a sugar-coated lattice top. each and every pie features a delicate, buttery crust that melts into the delectable apple filling! 

German Chocolate Cake. Contrary to popular belief, this cake didn’t originate in Germany. It was created by a man named Sam German, an English-American who invented a sweet baking chocolate. The popularity of the baking chocolate skyrocketed in 1957 when a Texas homemaker submitted her recipe for German Chocolate Cake to a local newspaper. While it’s not a direct import from Deutschland, German Chocolate Cake is still a favorite for Oktoberfest. We pile ours high with swirls of caramel, coconut, and walnuts. The sides are covered in chocolate shavings for a delectable treat that’s not too sweet.

German Chocolate Brownie

German Chocolate Brownie. We took the classic German Chocolate Cake and made it bite-sized! These chewy, gooey brownies covered in caramel, coconut, walnut, and ganache are baked fresh daily. They’re generously portioned making them perfect for any time of the day, whether it’s a quick morning snack or an after-dinner treat.  

Black Forest Mousse Cake. This traditional cake was named for the Black Forest region of Germany, also referred to as Der Schwarzwald. The name of the forest evokes a sense of darkness and mystery that comes from the German concept of Waldeinsamkeit, which aligns perfectly with the rich, dark chocolate and succulent cherries that come together to make this delectable flavor combination. We take a dark, moist chocolate cake and separate it with silky white chocolate mouse and black cherry filling to combine the two textures of chocolate indulgence that equal elegance.
