It all looks glorious 🙂
And thank goodness looking has no calories! 😉
😀
Okay Cindy, when your post came up in my Reader, I was munching on an apple! Now I have put the apple down, and am dreaming of every single treat in your photos!! *LOL* Wonderful photos (but I’m not kidding about the apple)! 😉 Cher xo
Laughing, trust me I know. I look at them and think, why didn’t I try that one? Or how could I missed that one??? I remember walking down the street in Passau eating this chocolate that I am now dreaming about! 😉
Hahaha, I honestly couldn’t live in any of those locations, because I’d be in those shops all the time! 😉
I think I just put on my 10 pounds of extra Christmas weight, Cindy….
Enjoy your Christmas Season!!

Laughing, I wonder if there is a correlation between looking at photos of desserts and subsequently eating some???? I hope not. Merry Christmas!
Subliminal desire?
I want some of everything! Holiday hug, Cindy. <3
A woman after my own heart! <3
Looking at it can’t make you fat. What a sight!
Leslie
Thank God for that, or I would be REALLY phatt!
Ok so just by looking at these scrumptious delights I probably gained 500 lbs LOL! BUT there are no calories during the holidays right?!
No calories. It’s just science. Your body is so shocked by the sudden caloric over load that is just stops processing the calories. AKA I wish!! 😉
I think I’m going into a diabetic coma, and I don’t even have diabetes! Glorious, mouth watering photos, Cindy…..
I look at food like this like a overly healthy young man might look at pretty young ladies! So much dessert, so little time!! Laughing……
So deliciously taken Cindy!
Thank God there are no calories with photography! 😉
… You are my hero. I don’t think I could let a camera and a window stand in my way … 😉
Did you bring back some of the treats with you, Cindy? Those are delicious. 🙂
I wish I did! I would like some right now!! 😉

Cindy Knoke with some tantalising treats from the European capitals… thank goodness they are virtual…
There is a lot to be said for virtual desserts. You can look, but you can’t gain weight! 😉
Happy holyday!
Happy Holidays to you and yours!
I adore Sachertorte, but have not had any in Vienna. If you happen to have a slice ( or 2), think of me 🙂
love all the goodie pics!
I had Sachertorte! Now I am thinking of them too, darn it!! So many desserts, so little time! Happy Holidays Linda~
Oh good! Always time for dessert.
Happy Holidays Cindy. I appreciate your friendship and wish you a blessed New Year.
<3 <3
I’m drooling on my tablet. My weakness, I wouldn’t be able to decide.
Yes, This happens to me too. Only later do I know what I should have picked! 😉
I would want to taste everything.
I’ll take one of these … one of those … a bag of this … and a bag of that.
A man after my own heart! <3
The lobster’s mine….!!
You have excellent taste!! But would you eat it or look at it?????
… Probably check the number of calories before I did anything…..!!
Pretty Hot and Tasty Treats!
Yes, indeed! Phatt! 😉
If you keep showing me crawfish on signs and now chocolate — I’m going to need to take a trip to New Orleans for to get some crawfish bisque. 😀 Super yummy looking treats.
Ooooh, crawfish bisque sounds wonderful, especially if it is made in New Orleans. I need to go back there and eat. Oh, I could walk too, before I eat!!
Have some bisque for me and I know I don’t even have to ask — thanks for sharing the beautiful photos you’ll take while there.
Look forward to another year with you my wonderful friend! <3
Tantalizing decadence. It might be worth the fat !! 🎄
Fat is probably not worth it, but you could eat some and not get fat. That is the hard part! You can’t eat it all, darn it all! 😉
Oh, Cindy, thank you for the treats without the calories! Tooooo divine. I probably would have gained ten pounds! Cheers to you as we count down to Christmas!
My husband who is fairly dessert resistant, keeps talkiing about the chocolate in Passau and wondering if we can order some online for New Years. I’m going to look into it. It was the best chocolate I can remember!
These look delicious.I could gobble them all 😛
Wishing you a very joyous Holiday season!
Our eyes are so much bigger than our stomachs which I guess is very fortunate for us! 😉
Haha you’re right Cindy 😛
<3
OMG, heaven! I’d weigh 500 lbs if I lived there!
It would be majorly tempting. It doesn’t work at all to eat chocolate in the US after coming back from Europe, which is a good thing for me!
Wow! Too divine, indeed! Love, love it… Thank you, Cindy! 🙂
Best enjoyed via computer screen in order to avoid eaters remorse! 😉
Yep 🙂
Thank you for showing all these delights – perhaps you passed them by because it must be so difficult to choose
Exactly! I get overwhelmed and tune out! I look at the photos later and think you should have gotten this and that and maybe that! 😉
Feast of sweets. (and the time of year to visit all those little bakeries true to their origins) Fun
I so wish I could beam over for some holiday shopping!!
So much beautiful candy!! Chocolate is my weakness, I’d be in my glory. Happy Holidays, Cindy!!
Thankfully, chocolate is actually good for you, in moderation!
OMG! Sugar rush and yum!
Thankfully for your health, it is only a virtual rush! <3
And, in recent reports: There is a food shortage in Europe. Police are looking for an American women with her face covered in a suspicious layer of cream. The public are advised she is armed with two chocolate eclairs and considered dangerous. 😀
HeHeHe! You got me Graham! And I am armed with my eclairs and dangerous, but only if your try and take one away! 😉 😉
No match for my my sawn-off strudel 😀
J’en veux !!!
https://gavroche60.files.wordpress.com/2015/12/rox94.gif
Moi aussi!!! En fait, je veux beaucoup! 🙂 🙂 <3
Is that a chocolate lobster?!!
It is! There was a whole sea theme with mermaids etc. Serious works of art!
Amazing! I could sink my teeth into those that’s for sure! Yum!
I make my own pralines and truffles, because I missed them so much here. Oh the picture of the bakery brought back memories. I love the European fruitcakes. Thanks you for making me hungry 🙂
Oh my, I am drooling about the thought of your homemade pralines and truffles. Seriously, you make them? Where do you live? Just kidding, sort of! I came back from this trip ruined for chocolate in the states. I am lookiing into ordering online for New Years from Passau! I thought Belgian and Swiss chocolate were incredible, the chocolate we had in Passau was the best I have ever had~
I love good chocolate and missed it here in the U.S. so I started making it myself. I live in Ohio and I do send out care packages lol
Che tentazione! 🙂
Sì,e voglio un po’ ora !! 😉 😉
Anche io! 😀 Ma non so quale scegliere
Che è esattamente il mio problema! È come un negozio pieno di diamanti. Quale scegliere??? Non riesco a decidere! 😉
Hey, Cindy! Are you kidding me? My eyes are crying when I see so many sweets. Oh, so many… There are so many sweets in this world 🙂 You are sweet, too
So many sweets, so little time, thank God I am not there, or I would try and eat all them!! You are the sweetest of all. Happy Holidays! <3
Probably I would try and eat all them, too. Happy Holidays to you too, Cindy!
🙂
Wow this is amazing! Yummmmmmmm
Yes, now I am just sitting here thinking of chocolate……..sigh!
Wow what treats they are amazing looking!!
Zero calories for looking only! 😉

I reckon I could happily settle into a sofa with the lobster and watch a whole season of a tv series 😀
hehehe! I would love to join you! <3 <3
OMG Cindy I’m drooling, and very glad they’re only photos!
Alison
Yes, but they trigger the sugar receptors in my very phatt brain!! 😉 😉
Yeah, me to 🙂
<3
At least just looking at the pictures won’t make me fat. 🙂 But, who would even think to just walk away from all those delectable morsels without sampling them, or trying one or two. Oink, oink.
Thankfully I do at times get overwhelmed by the selection rendering me stupified and unable to make a coherent decision. Kinda like an anticipatory sugar overdose. This is a good thing, or else I would be very phatt!
lol 🙂 Have a wonderful Christmas wherever you are.
What an incredible display. At least temptation is only imaginary from here.
Actually talking about it a lot helps with the cravings. Kinda like AA for desserts! 😉 😉
Ooh, la la! 🙂
You said it!! 🙂
Reblogged this on arrayoflettersblog and commented:
Do they offer a discount for good little adults? 😉
They definitely should, and for those who fly back and order in bulk!
I put on weight just seeing all these delicious pictures. LOL
Happily, that is just a guilt induced delusion, kinda like lust in the mind in the bible! 😉
Oh wow! Amazing!
Yep, it was a heavenly overload for me, too good to properly process!
Extraordinary Desserts. S.D. Ca. 😉
Extraordinary desserts looks fabulous but I tried it a couple of times and it was good, but I wasn’t super impressed. Did you like it? Coulon’s Dessertier in La Jolla is the bees knees though. Michele Coulon’s father ran a restaurant called The Belgian Lion. They are from Belgium and they can cook!
E. D. is a feast for the eyes but too rich for my system. As your photos attest I think Europe takes top honors. I’ll ask my RSF friend if he has been to Coulon’s. I’m guessing yes.
You can’t get away from him, can you? The lobster got free from the pharmacy sit in in Slovakia and swam to a beautiful candy shop in Germany to pose for picture 7. If you want to eat that one, don’t cook it, steaming or microwaving is not recommended. To order for a meal in Germany, ask for Maine Hummer, and accept no other. In France, homard America in. The alias taken by the bug in your photograph, Praline Croquant, does not fool me!
Hehehe! I am being pursued by lobsters. Did you know a huge lobster swam up to me once where I live. I plucked him out of the ocean and everyone was massively jealous. I let it go. When I was a kid in La Jolla we could pick lobsters out of tide pools, but no more. I do think a chocolate, praline lobster from Belgium would surely taste very sweet, but it was really too pretty to eat!! 😉 😉 <3
Don’t pick up Maine lobsters carelessly unless their claws are pegged! For dining, lobsters from eastern Canada and New England are excellent! Another recommendation, freshly cooked lobster meat, chilled a bit, and placed in a buttered toasted hot dog role. Don’t go Buffalo, Chicago, New York, or anyway like that by adding sauerkraut, chile, or anything else. Okay, maybe a very little mayonnaise.
Reblogged this on necltr and commented:
One can find anything in Germany, even a Maine lobster in a candy shop, look at picture #7 if you don’t believe me.
Cracking up!
This season have so many temptations in food 😀 Thanks for the journey, Cindy. Nice weekend )
Yes, and the choice comes down to which to yield too! Enjoy!
Hahaha, Cindy, I just ate dinner but seeing these images made my mouth water! Before I moved to a different part of California, I used to live in a town that had an authentic European bakery called Konditerei where all the goodies are a work of art! Now I totally miss those goodies. I wish I could just reach through the screen and take that chocolate lobster!
You’re so blessed to have been to so many places and seen so many wonderful things Cindy! Thanks for sharing the world’s goodies with all of us! Happy Holidays! <3 ~Lynn
Happy Holidays Lynn and you know I am blessed to know people like you. Wishing you all the best and a Healthy and Happy New Year. Look foward to a virtual 2016 with you my friend!
No way ! I’ve never seen so much sweets ! Yummy !
It kinda makes it hard to pick doesn’t it! That’s what happens with me, I freeze with all the choices which is a good thing, because if I didn’t, I can’t even imagine the calories I would consume! Happy Holidays!
Just delightful, Cindy! Happy holidays to you too 🙂
Ahhh, so wonderful to share it with you! <3
I’ve been trying to reach through my phone screen but nothing happens! I’ve been good this year, almost lol. Wonder pictures as always and as a bonus, fat free!!
Unfortunately I have been trying to reach through too, to no avail! You are a special friend Dorinda and I wish you the Happiest Possible Holiday Season~ <3
Thank you, Cindy! Many blessings, to you and your family, this holiday season! Be well, my friend ❤️
