Our patisserie

Our patisserie has a name: Kay Baumgardt.

Career

From baker to patissier. Kay's success is rooted in the years he spent as an apprentice in a bakery with a small patisserie. An additional apprenticeship as a confectioner was followed by international stations on the cruise MS Deutschland, in Portugal, Italy, England and several other countries. Kay reached the pinnacle of his career to date at the Gasthaus zur Fernsicht with the 2-star restaurant Incantare. He was responsible for the entire patisserie there and was honoured as "Patissier of the Year 2020" by Gault Millau during this time.

Philosophy

Kay has banned white sugar from his patisserie. Using innovative new techniques and skillful craftsmanship, he prefers to work with the natural sweetness of the products. This demonstrates his intense focus on flavour and the variety of ingredients used. Thinking outside the box, breaking new ground and always surprising - Kay's credo can be tasted in every one of his creations.
