Cake quest

I learned yesterday that Marie-Antoinette was an Austrian princess. Which brings a whole new meaning to Let Them Eat Cake.

My tourist mission for the week was to find Vienna´s best patisserie. Albert, tech director of the Kosmos Theater, recommended Oberlaa, on Babenbergerstrasse, just off the Museum Quarter. So I landed there yesterday afternoon, and took over 20 minutes to choose what to have from the cake selection - a nut and chocolate torte. It was pretty amazing. And wonderfully funny to eat it, very slowly, to Would I Lie To You Baby, playing over the sound system. Mozart would just have been cliched.
