German Bakery Cooks Up Syringe Cakes To Promote COVID-19 Vaccines
Previously, Schuerner’s Baking Paradise in Dortmund made cakes shaped like toilet-rolls
BERLIN, Jan 8 (Reuters) - A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down at a bakery in the western German town of Dortmund, which is celebrating the year of the coronavirus vaccine with syringe-shaped cakes.
It is not the first time Schuerner’s Baking Paradise has sold coronavirus spin-offs: last year, as household essentials vanished from supermarket shelves in panic buying, they created cakes shaped like newly-scarce toilet-rolls.
But owner Tim Kortuem initially worried that baking up a tasty syringe would be a step too far.
