Sugar cake stories by the fireplace

Saxon cake specialties, a crackling open fire and historical photographs will take you on a literary and culinary journey through time.

Find out why the rich townspeople of old strolled through Saxon Switzerland in fine clothes and what this has to do with sugar cake.

How did the Eierschecke get its name and why is there a special raisin version?

To round off the sugary-sweet afternoon, a reading will take you back to a Christmas Eve a hundred years ago.
