    Just Like the "Old Country"!

    Published by Dettling Clan on 22nd Dec 2022

    I have been sending birenweggen to my family at Christmas for a few years now. My aunt always says how it is just like "Doty" (her father, my grandfather) made. My grandfather emigrated from Canton Schwyz in the very early 1930s. and brought his recipes with him. He found work as a baker in the San Franciso area where he made Birenweggen, among other treats. Growing up, we enjoyed his creations at Christmas time. We hadn't had true birenweggen for many years. How special to find it here at "Swiss Favorites" and perfectly prepared and baked!

    It's the "real McCoy" from the days of growing up in a Swiss household. I don't know the Schweitzer Deutsch translation for McCoy, aber es ist zerr güt! Primo!

    Best Birenweggen

    Published by Rolf Schicker on 16th Dec 2021

    We are from Switzerland and stay 2 times a year in FL. You can not find such an excellent Birenweggen in FL. It‘s better than at home. The taste, filling are excellent and very special. We like the bread, Biberfladen, Walnut tart, hazelnut croissant, etc. too. It‘s like home and it‘s a pleasure to have such delicious items far away from home, so we can enjoy our longer stay. Swiss Bakery you are doing a great job. Thx for the fine stuff. Merry Christmas and a happy 2022.
