Wolfgang, widely known as Peter and thus the namesake of Strudelpeters, and his partner Christine welcome us warmly on a Friday morning. The small store, where various strudels (apple, curd, curd poppy!), foam rolls, pies and cakes are available to take away, is still closed. From Thursday to Sunday, it opens its doors from noon to 5 p.m. to customers with a sweet tooth. The two have been running the store together since 2012, Peter is master of the bakery and Christine in sales. Peter is a trained master confectioner and worked for many years at renowned confectioners (Walter, Valier, ...) before opening his own business. "Sweets" are completely his - except for his birthday, when he always wishes for an eggnog gugelhupf. His fiancée Christine is responsible for that.
Seasonally, there are various specialties here in the pastry shop. In autumn there are the Kirchtagskrapfenwhich are filled with poppy seeds, candy, powidl, honey and a hint of gingerbread spice. At Christmas time the cookies take over the seasonal message: Vanillekipferl and Linzeraugen are perennial favorites, just as Eisenbahner made of marzipan and currant jam with chocolate. Now, at the end of January, however, it is clearly the doughnuts that set the seasonal tone. About 100 pieces per week go over the counter, on Shrove Tuesday it is four times the amount. Pre-ordering is a good idea for larger quantities!
