It's my Mom's birthday. Or was. She made it to 97.
So......go wallow in doughnuts cause Mom was known for her home made doughnuts? I'm pretty sure I can't find apple strudel like my Grandma supposedly made. Mom said that Grandma would stretch the strudel dough to the size of a card table......Wow and yum.
A warmed, decent butterhorn pastry sounds mighty tasty. Yes I've had my warm cup of cocoa. Maybe I need more sugar??
Happy birthday, Mom. I hope you're busy whipping up a cherry chip cake for brother Frank.

That is one big strudel. I will have to ask my friend Heidi about that. She grew up here, but her parents were German immigrants and her mom was a gingerbread specialist. She was invited to the Tonight Show.

@snowy22315 I guess I was a prude. I never looked into the shop.

She was certainly blessed to make it to 97. My mom made some amazing Latvian pastries and cakes. I have a vivid imagination too bad it can't be that but imagine some doughtnut floating down from Heaven,

@sallypup in the photo you see what she as well as other Latvians traditionally bake for birthdays and holidays. As a child I loved watching my mother make this pastry.
