German bakers unveil giant Christmas cake
- 10 years ago
The very first slice of a giant Stollen is unveiled at Dresden's Christmas market Saturday.
It's the Christmas cake the city is famous for.
It only took sixty-five bakers and three and a half weeks to pull of the delectable masterpiece, which in the end weighed three tonnes -- that's more than 6500 pounds.
And it seems the hard work paid off.
"Yummy, isn't it?" the little boy is asked.
"Yes, yummy," he says.
"What is it that's so yummy?"
"The Stollen, of course!"
Slices of the massive cake -- coated in powdered sugar -- then went on sale to the crowd, who was told it was for a 'good cause'.
The Dresden Christmas market has been held annually since 1434 --
And with just one bite of Stollen, these Germans can feel Christmas is just around the corner.
