This delightful black iron sign of a pastry chef offering a small cake to a young girl hangs over the door of Bräutigams chocolate shop. Since 1870, this confectionery has delighted their customers with hand-made pastries, pralines, truffles, and marzipans which are a confection made from sugar, Spanish almonds and chocolate. For a special Swedish treat, try a Gustavus Adolphus pasty that’s made from chocolate with a portrait of the king on top. They are typically served on November 6, the day that memorializes his death in 1632.
