Baking competition in Gotha: Who will create the best wreath?
In less than a week, the city of Gotha will become a paradise for baking lovers. On Sunday, October 12th, the annual baking competition for the most beautiful Gotha wreath will take place from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. in the Friedenstein Wunderkammer, Jüdenstraße 1. This event, organized by the Friedenstein Foundation Gotha, has a long tradition and attracts both amateur bakers and gourmets from the region.
What exactly makes the Gotha wreath so special? This fine cake, which is made of butter cream or Viennese mass, impresses not only with its taste, but also with its attractive decoration. The wreath is often decorated with cherries, chocolate sprinkles or brittle. The recipe was originally patented in 1905 by confectioner Albert Maasberg, but the patent expired in 1935, meaning every baker can now create their own version. The participating hobby bakers give free rein to their creativity - the types of dough can be both classic light and chocolaty.
A feast for the senses
The event promises not only an exciting competition situation, but also a social get-together over a coffee party. The cakes are evaluated by a jury, and the best creations can look forward to prizes. If you would like to lend a hand yourself, you can send an email to wunderkammer@friedenstein-stiftung.de Register or stop by Jüdenstraße 1 and secure your participation. Further information can be found on the Friedenstein Foundation website at stiftung-friedenstein.de.
