The Finest Ingredients
One of the trademarks of Black Forest Cake is the airy, but flavorful, cake base that sets the stage for all of the rest of the scrumptious ingredients! Our Black Forest Cake is made up of the finest Belgian chocolate, for a cake that has multiple layers of flavor. Our cakes are never overpoweringly sweet, as they rely on the finest ingredients to prop up their flavor, not the amount of sugar in them!
We combine fine Belgian chocolate with eggs, pure butter, flour, and sugar. The cake can stand on its own, but we prefer to top our Black Forest Cake with the traditional cherry filling, whole plump cherries, and decadent cream. The result is something that you'll be instantly familiar with, but also delight in the new twist that we've put on this old favorite. Like all of the desserts that we produce, our Black Forest Cake is reliant on the finest ingredients and a simple formula for success. The result is a decadent dessert that would be at home at any function.
The price of our cakes vary depending on the size, but they start right around a reasonable $22 dollars. Rest assured, that this cake is rich enough so that you only need a small slice to be satisfied. Your guests will get all of the flavors from a sliver of cake, and not want for any more! The decadent chocolate pairs perfectly with silky cream and plump cherries for a burst of flavor that is the height of sophistication. Better still, this cake keeps very well in the refrigerator, so you don't have to worry about eating it right away. You can store it for a few days and it will maintain its flavor and integrity!
Black Forest Cake is best served cold, with a warm cup of coffee or tea to accompany it. It's one of the most popular desserts in Germany, but we have put our own French twist on it for a sweet treat that you will not forget anytime soon. Next time you have an event that needs a special showcase dessert, consider picking up one of our premier Black Forest Cakes to bring with you. You will not regret your decision!

Legend of the Black Forest Cake
The unpredictable journey of the black forest cake begins with a legend in ancient Rome. Legend has it that three Roman legions were ambushed by an alliance of Germanic tribes led by Arminius in the Black Forest region during the reign of the first Roman Emperor, Augustus.
Roman General and Politician Publius Quinctilius Varus took his own life while bravely fighting off the Germanic tribes, during the infamous Battle of the Teoutoburg Forest, also known as “The Black Forest”. It is from this same “Black Forest” region that the black forest cake originated. Rumor has it that the first black forest cake emerged from this region of Southern Germany in the late 16th century. During this time, first began mixing chocolate into cakes. and other baked goods.
