These are the desserts of my youth. For years my parents and I would drive 2 hours to another "konditorei" in chicago called Lutzs. That family sold a year after they made my wedding cake and the new owners modified things in the wrong direction.
After moving here, I came across this place by accident. Their Black Forest torte is very good, close to what I would expect. Their rum balls don't look anything like what I've had in the past here or in Germany but they taste amazingly similar and are excellent. Lastly, their marzipan horn cookie dipped in dark chocolate was the best cookie I have ever eaten. Ever. I'm glad they are on the other side of Madison or I would be as big as a house.
