It’s a new kind of sweet roll.
One bakery is poking fun at reports German news outlet The Local.
“The first eight were gone in a few minutes,” says Tim Kortüm, 36, owner of Schürener Backparadies in Dortmund, Germany, which brawl over bathroom tissue.
Needless to say, the bathroom tissue facsimiles started selling like hot cakes, prompting Kortüm to roll out 200 of the unorthodox “Swiss rolls” per day to satisfy customer cravings. Their popularity has helped keep the sweet shop afloat as Backparadies had to discontinue items such as wedding cakes and sandwiches for events due to dropping demand caused by social distancing.
“That’s when the idea with the toilet paper cake came up,” said the proud baker, who showcases adorable cupcake adorned with two eyes and a face mask.
