NIKOLAUS HURLBRINK ON MR. MINSCH’S CAKES

Off the beaten path, at Yorkstrasse 15, you’ll find the cake oasis of Andreas Minsch. Surrounded by numerous plants and flowers and a little fountain, the huge window pane allows you to peep inside the bakery. Here you can watch the confectioner and his apprentices at work. The shop comes in a fifties look, decorated with cream white tiles. To choose your cake you have to check out the assortments in the vitrine. They offer cherry-vanilla crumble, cinnamon rolls, pastries, cookies, and sumptuous cream tartes. On Sundays the assortment is bigger but likewise the number of customers. A piece of cake is three Euros – so fantastic and so huge it feeds two. You’ll find more impressions of Mr. Misch’s repertoire from their chocolate artworks to multi-leveled wedding cakes on Facebook.
