Verena's cakes are without a doubt the best cakes you will find on the north coast. If you ask her she will make just about anything for you...her traditional black forest cakes and her strawberry tortes are out of this world. As with the majority of European cakes very little sugar is used and so it makes it a little easier to eat bigger slices!! Forget about the calorie count though....For your information, Verena is crazy about curry. She lived in London in the 60's and her favorite thing was Indian food, (for those of you that don't know, outside of India, England has the best Indian restaurants in the world). So if you have any spare curry pastes you will really make her day. I have taken her a couple of different packets in the past and just the sparkle in her eyes is worth it! Damn, now I want a slice of cake!
