The German bakes I make every summer ☀️


Hey, Reader!

Summer fruit season is finally heeeere! 🍒🍑🫐

I've rounded up 10 of my favorite German summer bakes, all built around the best produce of the season. We're talking juicy cherries, sweet blueberries, plump apricots, and ripe plums, all wrapped in buttery pastry, tender cake, and crispy streusel.

These are the recipes my family begs me to bake every single summer. 🌸 I hope they reignite nostalgic memories for you, or inspire new favorite flavor combos for Kaffee und Kuchen or summer picnic treats.

Let me know if I missed any of your favorites! Guten Appetit 😉
