Tis the season! The elves are hard at work preparing our Weihnacht’s Stollen. This hand-crafted creation is THE traditional German treat filled with delicious fruits, nuts and spices, and covered with powdered sugar.

Our stollen is Dresdner-style, and is truly one of our signature items of the year.

We offer our large stollen (serves 10), small stollen (serves 6) and a large stollen beautifully wrapped and packed in a READY to SHIP gift box.

Due to continued complexities with shortages of ingredients, packaging, and labor, we will not be offering shipping this year. But, we do offer a READY to SHIP Stollen in a Gift Box, which you can ship!

Click here to order for pickup in the Bakery in Durham or the Bake Shop in Chapel Hill. Our stollen will be available in both locations for pickup starting the day after Thanksgiving!

The Bakery will have plenty of lovely Holiday specialties for your table. The Christmas Bakery Holiday menu is coming soon!
