Single-Backen

During the pre-Christmas season, the Freischütz opens its bakery to singles who love to bake.

Guests are welcomed with a small glass of beer or a glass of sparkling wine. A little icebreaker at the door immediately sets up the first team pairings: Everyone draws half of a cookie—whoever has the matching half forms the first baking team for the first round.

The pairs roll out the prepared dough together and cut out cookies to their heart’s content. After 30 minutes, there’s a brief partner swap for the second baking sheet, so that every participant gets to know at least two people well.

While the cookies are baking in the oven and cooling, it’s time for “snacks and chit-chat.” For all singles, there’s a delicious, hearty buffet featuring soup and finger foods. Everyone eats at bar tables so the singles can move freely around the room and chat casually.

This is followed by a second round at the large decorative table: In new pairs, the freshly baked cookies are lovingly decorated together with icing, sprinkles, and little messages written in sugar icing.

At the end, the baked masterpieces are divided up and packed into pretty little bags. To wrap things up, participants have the option to exchange “business cards” in the form of cookie tags for an easy way to share contact information.

Please bring your own apron and cookie jar!
