Snowflakes + LOADS of caffeine
Cafe Sacher
Yes, it's time for a midday post... partially because I'm a bit tired from tanz class, a bit distracted by the beauty of Vienna in snow powder and mostly because I've just had more caffeine in one sitting than I've ever had in my entire life!!!
Today, we took a break from work, Sean and I, to venture out into the snow and have what has been stated to be:
The best cake in the world.
Now, individual tastes aside, having had this world's best cake I must say the following:
Sean agrees that it's the best.
I was partially to zonked out to fully enjoy it since I thought at any moment I might either pass out or make a scene. It was amazing though. It comes with a seal of chocolate, even.
This place, Cafe Sacher, was the most over-the-top cafe ever. Lots of evers here. We walked in and immediately felt embarrassed for not donning suit and tie / dress for the outing. No coats allowed - they must be checked. Very quiet, as well. Oh, and the menus had wooden handles for holding them! I've never seen such a thing. You can see in the photos. We each had a Sacher Torte and a Melange. The Torte came with unsweetened whipped cream, as did the Melange, of course.
Here's the brief description:
The Original Sacher-Torte has been the most famous cake in the world for more than 175 years!
The Original Sacher-Torte has been the most famous cake in the world since 1832 and the original recipe a well-kept secret of our hotel. Only the Original Sacher-Torte is produced according to this original recipe: The basis is a chocolate cake, thinly coated by hand with best-quality apricot jam. The chocolate icing over this is the crowning glory. The Original Sacher-Torte tastes best with a portion of unsweetened whipped cream, complemented perfectly with a “Wiener Melange” (coffee with milk) from the Original Sacher Café.
Anyway.. you can read all about it, see videos, etc. here: http://www.sacher.com/en-original-sacher-tart.htm
And finally, more photos of our walk, just to enjoy the snow :)
