Delectable Local Desserts
Newsweek Europe|November 25, 2022
Desserts can be a sweet, lasting memory of an extraordinary travel experience. When the hosts of Newsweek’s Fast Women podcast travel, we don’t leave finding the best pastries in town to chance. Instead, we ask the locals which restaurant, shop or stand makes the very best; the hotel concierge is often a great resource, too. From coffee cake at Olsen’s Danish Village Bakery in California to milkshakes at Diesel Créme in South Africa or Sacher Torte at the Café Sacher in Austria, the sweet treats on this list are some of our favorites around the globe—and well worth a trip to discover.

Milkshakes at Diesel & Crème

BARRYDALE, SOUTH AFRICA

This vintage diner and motel along South Africa’s version of Route 66 has delightfully creamy milkshakes that serve as a perfect sweet treat and stopping point as you head out for a day east of Cape Town. Switch up your usual order and meringue or rum raisin and blueberry.

01

Seven Sisters Butter Ring Coffee Cake at Olsen's Danish Village Bakery

SOLVANG, CALIFORNIA

Layers of almond and custard filling combine *with traditional coffee cake to make a heavy pastry weighing several pounds. Get yours fresh from the bakery and travel home with it-it's good for days after purchase and can be reheated in the oven.

02 Buttermilk Pie at Greenwood Grocery

GREENWOOD, TEXAS



The key to acquiring this smooth but tangy buttermilk pie is getting to Greenwood, near Dallas, early in the day. Sold commonly by the slice rather than an entire pie tin at a time, it's so good you won't want to share slices. Bring cash.

03 Beavertails at Mont

Tremblant

QUEBEC CITY

Right next to the ski slopes of Mont Tremblant is a pastry shop that sells fried whole wheat dough goodness with a taste similar to an American funnel cake, topped with fresh fruit, drizzle, sprinkles, a smear of chocolate or a host of other options.

04 Churros and Chocolate at Chocolatería San Ginés

Kenya Barris

KENYA BARRIS, THE EMMY-NOMINATED CRE-ator of Black-ish, knows that him teaming up with Malcolm Gladwell for the new Audible series The Unusual Suspects is a bit of an odd pairing. “We’re actually not as odd, but it’s an interesting combination.” And their guest list is just as diverse, from entertainment figures like Jimmy Kimmel and Ava DuVernay to renowned chef David Chang.

PARTING SHOT: Alan Cumming

PARTING SHOT: Alan Cumming

AFTER THE MASSIVE SUCCESS OF THE TRAITORS LAST YEAR (STREAMING now on Peacock), host Alan Cumming knew this third season had to be bigger. “There was a pressure to not just repeat ourselves, it actually upped the ante.” And they did just that, with a more explosive cast and even wilder twists. “It is bigger. I’m sort of a cult leader. I’ve gone from just a dandy lord of the manor in his castle to official cult leader. I’m fine with it.” Cumming hosts a castle full of reality TV stars who all play a game of murder in the hope of winning upward of $250,000. But Cumming says their TV background has little to do with their success on The Traitors. “Everybody has this sort of myth that you have to be in one of those gamer shows to do well at this game, and it’s not true. Sometimes it’s actually good to have better social skills.” Last year, Cumming’s Emmy win ended RuPaul’s historic 8-year winning streak for RuPaul’s Drag Race. “I saw Ru and I went up to him and I just went, ‘I am so sorry.’ And he just went, ‘Con-drag-ulations.’ And I was like, ‘He said it!’” [laughs]

TAKE A 'MONEYBALL' APPROACH TO VISA REFORM

WHILE CLAIMS OF A “CIVIL WAR” within MAGA ranks may be exaggerated, a holiday exchange on X [formerly Twitter] underscored a growing fault line in the Republican Party between the working-class voters who propelled President Donald Trump back into power and the billionaire elites he's tapping to shape his administration.
