Traditional biscuits from Egypt

Actually, the gingerbread - also called gingerbread, spice cake or honey cake depending on the region - gets its taste from spices that are quite untypical for Germany. Their origin lies in its own provenance, as the first gingerbreads were probably eaten in Egypt in ancient times.

It was not until the Middle Ages that Europeans discovered the spicy pastry for themselves. As all these exotic spices such as cinnamon, cloves and aniseed were combined under the name pepper, the cake was given its name. The main ingredient then, as now, is honey, which also gives the small baked goods their sweet aroma.

In the early Middle Ages, gingerbread was generally said to have a healing effect. They were said to have a digestive and regenerative effect. The individual spices seemed to confirm this, as cloves are said to have analgesic and calming properties and cinnamon is said to stimulate digestion. 

A variety of treats for the Christmas season

Since the 19th century, gingerbread has undergone constant development. The constant experimentation of the master bakers also resulted in our filled lace cherry. For this we have refined our very own gingerbread recipe. Only the finest spices and the best ingredients are used for this delicacy.

This heavenly taste composition is completed with a rich sour cherry fruit filling, which underlines the sweet and exotic taste of the spice cake in a unique way. The Christmas cake is perfected with a thick layer of dark chocolate.
