Easter is just around the corner. Is your family coming to visit, or are you planning a cozy Easter afternoon with friends? Either way, there’s a lot to prepare. And what certainly shouldn’t be missing—besides the Easter egg hunt and the melt-in-your-mouth chocolate bunnies—is a delicious Easter pastry. With that in mind, we recommend two delightful pastries from our bakery that will bring culinary joy to your guests during the Easter holidays.
Swiss Tradition: The Easter Cake
The Easter cake has been part of Swiss Easter tradition for hundreds of years, just like the Easter bunny or Easter egg. We bake our Easter cakes following a classic Swiss recipe with fresh milk rice, almond paste, eggs, and lemon. A tempting treat for the whole family.
Italian Specialty: The Colomba di Pasqua
The Colomba di Pasqua is an Italian Easter specialty, traditionally made from yeast dough with fine almonds and pieces of chocolate. Whether enjoyed at breakfast with some jam or as a dessert after the Easter meal—try this traditional Italian Easter delight.
Did you know?
The name Colomba di Pasqua means “Easter dove”—which is also the reason for the pastry’s special shape, symbolizing the dove of peace.
