From 1972, when the firm was sold, rough times followed and in the next 30 years the owners changed several times. Since 2002 the house that is steeped in history belongs to the Austrian DO & CO Group, an internationally operating restaurant and catering company.
Not to forget to mention that there is another Demel located in Salzburg which is the total opposite. It is very modern and colorful! I haven't visited it yet, but I have seen some pictures and I'd love to. Just today I found out that there is a Demel in Japan as well (!) which looks exactly like the one here, and now I'm wondering how the new Demel cafe on the 5th Ave. in NYC, that opens in March, will look like....
Aaaand, four people from the bakeshop are up until next week in Madrid, at the ATP tournament where they're under the Do&Co firm to make life sweeter for the tennis players ;)

This week was more laid back I have to say, but I did many new things and of course, every day I learn something new. Tomorrow is Friday already and I am looking foward to the weekend...well..to get some sleep to be more precise :))



This is a cake made especially for the premiere of a new animated film starting 25th of October "Lissi and the wild emperors" which is based on the life of the Austrian (born in München) empress Elizabeth. And if you can notice, all around he mouth is chocolate ;)
