Take a seat on upholstered velvet
The coffee houses in early 20th-century Vienna were a second living room for artists, intellectuals, and sweet lovers of all kinds. Here, people relaxed, discussed, and, above all, enjoyed themselves! Amidst this sophisticated atmosphere, confectioner Therese Schulz pampered guests of the former Vienna Grand Hotel with her sweet craftsmanship—and meticulously documented her recipes. A hundred years later, family members rediscovered these records in the attic and entrusted them to the expert hands of recipe developer Bernadette Wörndl, who translated them into the present day for us.

The result is this unique baking book with over 75 heavenly confectionery recipes . From classics like vanilla crescents and Sachertorte to nostalgic delicacies like Miss Wanda slices and diplomatic pudding – this is where the heart of confectioners beats. Austrian sweets and pastries higher. The culinary journey through time is rounded off with atmospheric recipe pictures , excerpts from Therese's original recipe book and nostalgic Vienna photographs.

A homage to the Viennese art of confectionery.
