Lebkuchen, Stollen & Baumkuchen: Traditional German Christmas Bakes
The Scent that Ushers in Christmas
There are scents that immediately evoke a memory: cinnamon, cardamom, roasted almonds, freshly baked Stollen. Gingerbread, Stollen, and Speculoos are more than just pastries; they are a piece of living tradition that heralds the pre-Christmas season anew each year. At Dreyer Confiserie, we have curated a selection that takes this tradition seriously, with space for modern and vegan alternatives.
Stollen: The Heart of Advent Baking
No Christmas pastry embodies the Advent season quite like Stollen. The Niederegger Marzipan Stollen features a juicy marzipan core, enveloped in traditionally baked yeast dough, a classic that fits equally well at the coffee table or under the Christmas tree. For those who prefer to sample rather than cut into an entire loaf, there's the mini version weighing 80 grams – full enjoyment in a small format.
Baumkuchen: When Craft Becomes Art
Hardly any pastry demands as much patience as Baumkuchen. Layer by layer, the batter is applied and baked until the characteristic rings, visible when sliced, are formed. The Grand-Cru Baumkuchen showcases precisely this craftsmanship, in milk chocolate and dark chocolate, as well as smaller Baumkuchen tips for a quick treat in between. The Niederegger Baumkuchen Dark Chocolate complements the selection with another equally traditional variant.
Speculoos, as Understood by Lembcke
Anyone who believes Speculoos is just one type of pastry has not yet encountered Lembcke's collection. From classic butter speculoos and spiced speculoos to the chocolate-covered variants Spiced Speculoos Chocolate and Speculoos Confections in Chocolate and Butter, all the way to Mini-Spekulini in milk chocolate, here you'll find the perfect texture and intensity for every preference. Additionally, there are Sweet Kipferl with nuts and milk chocolate, the fruit-filled Winter Stars with punch and apricot, and Santa's Wish in Dark and Milk, fine butter shortbread on dark or milk chocolate.
Kräuterprinten: The Robust Original
For those who like it traditional and with a powerful bite, Dreyer Confiserie's Kräuterprinten are the perfect choice – a classic hard biscuit with a spicy note that holds its firm place among gingerbread specialties.
Christmas, Also Completely Plant-Based
The whole grain oat cookies from HaferHerz demonstrate that Christmas pastries do not necessarily require animal ingredients. The Speculoos variety brings familiar Christmas spice, while the Apple & Cinnamon variety offers a fruity-warm note, both completely vegan and just as enjoyable as their classic counterparts.
The Right Treat for Every Advent Moment
Whether it's a piece of Stollen for coffee, a crispy Speculoos at your desk, or a vegan oat cookie on an Advent evening: our assortment of Christmas pastries will accompany you throughout the entire season.
