For comparison, above is what the dessert bar previously looked like. From left to right, it offered the black forest cake, pretzel brownies, Bavarian cheesecake, cobbler, and pineapple. Apple strudel and chocolate chip cookies were also available. Below is the new array of desserts at Biergarten Restaurant.

Pineapple remains but the other desserts have all been replaced. They come in cupcake-like sample sizes instead of cut pieces from a larger cake or brownie tray.

The Apple Strudel (Apfelstrudel) and kids’ chocolate chip cookies remain the same. The Apple Strudel is still cut as relatively large pieces from a full pie.

Vanilla sauce (VanillesoBe) is also still available on the side. There used to be berry compote, too, but it’s gone.

Replacing the black forest cake is Black Forest Baumkuchen Trifle (Schwarzwälder Baumkuchen-Trifle). Despite the name, it no longer resembles a Baumkuchen, which literally means “tree cake” because it looks like a log. The trifle instead comes in a verrine.
