Cafe Stolz birthday cake

I mentioned last week that I was buying my birthday cake from Cafe Stolz. Here are some photos. It was fabulous!

It had a nice splash of ganache on top of the mousse cake, cherries with gold leaf, fresh raspberry and fresh blackberry, and the Cafe Stolz chocolate ball on top. Inside was a delicious genoise, more mousse, and a think layer of seedless jam.

The pics aren't so fabulous, because I kept sticking my fingers in the cake as I moved it around to get it ready to photograph. But I didn't let that get me down - I just licked my fingers and tried again. It was always an accident when my fingers slipped again.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Cafe Stolz cakes

There's just no point in telling those of you outside of Stuttgart about Cafe Stolz, because there's no konditorei like it anywhere else in the world. The Konditor was the German vice-master of Konditors and Patissiers in 2005. So you know where I'm coming from when I tell you we have two of the best slices of cake in town today for our coffee time.
And, to make it even better, I just ordered my birthday cake from these master bakers from Fellbach.
The first piece is a chocolate and hazelnut mousse with a sponge in-between the layers, and the mousse is filled with many good things, especially the nuts. The second is a decadent chocolate mousse cake named Jupiter, layered with a lovely chocolate sponge. Don't think twice about the size of the pieces in the photo - we have to share these things, so these are two half-pieces instead of two whole pieces.
Pieces of heaven. I can't wait til my birthday next week to find out what's next.
