Freunde, Kuchen Esser und Kaffee Liebhaber. TassenKuchen wird am 1. Mai offen sein. Wir sind von 10:30 bis 19 Uhr für euch da. Komm vorbei und geniess deine freien Tag.

Hey all friends of TassenKuchen….we have been working for what seems like months now to get a new, more readable menu card put together. With the help of our good friend Kai, we finally got it finished and printed. It is now to be perused in the café! Come in and check it out, especially the new “Specials” section.

This week we have added a new drink “ChariTea” to our assortment. In four flavors. And three new breakfast items perfect for the weekend. Blueberry Pancakes….hooray!! The Hangover Helper (an egg sandwich with all the necessary fixins to get your system back up and running) and the Truck Stop (home fries and sunny side up egg(s)). Classic! and delicious. We are offering all these up this weekend and for the next few weeks. If they are well received then they will be keepers.

I would like to thank Anna for a very nice compliment today. She left a note to be passed on to me and it reads as follows: “The blueberry vegan cupcake w/vanilla frosting was out of this world! Best I’ve had in Berlin yet! Will be coming back often! -Anna from England (new costumer)”

I look forward to meeting you Anna, thank you so much for your kind words. Glad you liked it. And from now on every Friday is Vegan Cupcake Day with a wide(r) assortment of sweet treats. Look for info on our facebook page.

And earlier this week a customer ate a cheesecake and told us he is a connoisseur of cheesecake and ours was the best he has eaten!!! Woooah! Thanks for the superlative review!! I happen to agree because it is my italian grandmother’s recipe.

Friends: The latest edition to our family is finally there. So we may enjoy and celebrate we will remained closed until next week when we will open again as usual on Wednesday, February 27. We will be happy to see you again then.

Freunde: Die neue Kleine ist endlich da! So dass wir die Zeit geniessen können bleiben wir bis Mittwoch, 27te Februar zu. Dann geht’s wieder los wie immer. Wir freuen uns euch wieder zu sehen.

Some interesting news!! We got a call out of the blue a few weeks ago from a casting agency. They wanted to know if yours truly would be interested in making an appearance on a cooking/baking show called  “Sweet and Easy”. They sent someone over to shoot a test film and then we waited to hear.

One week and countless emails later I was booked to film an episode on Enie van de Meiklokjes‘ program. We filmed last week and all went fairly well. (There were, of course several german grammatical errors committed but hey, no one is perfect.) Best of all everyone there was really nice and helpful and the whole experience was quite enjoyable. The day after we shot in the studio a photographer came to the café and took stills and shot some video of me baking and eating cake. He was also a really nice guy.

So we are excited to see the final result….only problem is that we all have to wait until November to see the episode. It is to be called “My Private Coffee Shop“. Go figure. And can be seen on the SIXX network.

Oh, by the way, I was asked to bake Blondies for the show. Not the most exciting looking dessert but certainly one of our specialties and best loved offerings.

Like a deer caught by the headlights….Blondies caught in the spotlight.
