German desserts and dirndl dress- A Secret to your personal Oktoberfest party

Oktoberfest is typically synonymous with Germany, but if you want to host a house party with a unique style, a dirndl dress theme would be perfect. Combine this with a round of German desserts, and you will have a unique Bavarian-style event. 

There’s nothing that a good dessert cannot fix, and we totally agree. There is a recipe for everyone in German cuisine, for those who have a sweet tooth and those who are not a fan of confectionery items. 

We have put together a list of the most decadent desserts that will be the ultimate combination with a traditional dirndl for a perfect Oktoberfest party. Let’s dive right in!

Black Forest Cake With Dirndl Dress

This classic baked good has so many variations that you’ll probably think, “What’s so special and German about this?” Well, it is anything but your average black forest cake. Let us tell you how.

Unlike the typical presentation, The German black forest cake is composed of a rich chocolate sponge covered in a smooth ganache and generously layered with whipped cream. Pitted sour cherries in a light syrup also go inside for a lovely finish. You can buy a contrasting red, black, and white dirndl dress that will complement the cake. 

Even though there are a lot of parts in this recipe, it’s really simple to create and delightful to assemble. We have an effortless tip for you.

You can make the cake sponges with the basic chocolate batter and use store-bought whipped cream instead of straining your arms doing the whips yourself. 

Especially if you wear a stunning black inner blouse to match the cake. Whipping the cream by yourself might stain the shirt with white splatters, and stressing about the smears should be the last thing on your menu. 

German Plum Dumplings

You are missing out on life if you have never tried a German plum dumpling. But you don’t have to deprive your guests of this delicacy because it is worth your time. 

A sweet dough is wrapped around a filling of simmered plums and apricots, which sometimes includes spices like cinnamon and cloves. The dumplings are an excellent combination of sour and sweet flavors with a crispy texture. 

This is one of those simple German sweets that come together quickly but will be gone within minutes once you serve it at your Oktoberfest party. We suggest you wear maroon or deep purple vintage dirndl as a finishing touch to the plum dumplings.

Stollen 

Stollen is a classic German bread that is a staple at every holiday or weekend party. It brings together all the customary flavors like dried nuts and raisins. Since it’s bread, you can make it a day before your party, so you have one less thing to worry about.

The thing that makes this bread extra special is macerating the raisins. All you have to do is soak the raisins in rum overnight, softening them for a delicate taste. The next step is also convenient. 

Poof the instant dry yeast and granulated sugar in lukewarm milk or water. For the dough, we suggest you use an electric mixer instead of kneading it with your hands to save your dirndl apron from getting dirty. Now, the fun part.

Chop the dried nuts of your choice like almonds, pistachios, cashews, walnuts, pecans, and the list goes on. For an extra kick, dice some candied fruits as well. Punch the dough a few times after it has doubled in size.

You can add lemon zest at this point for a tangy and tart flavor. Roll the dough in a rectangular shape, add the marzipan and shape it into a log. Bake the bread at a higher temperature for 15 minutes and then at a lower heat for 45 minutes, and Voila! Your stollen is ready. 

Blushing Maid & German Dirndl Dress

As interesting and exquisite as this name sounds, it is quite an effortless dessert. We can say that it’s a German version of a trifle. 

The biggest perk of making this recipe for your Oktoberfest party is that you can wear a classic German dirndl outfit (in the hues of red and white) to complement the dessert. And if you’re a blush lover, we suggest this is the perfect dish to serve. 

The list of ingredients is long, but we promise the process is quick and easy. You will need frozen raspberries, slices of pumpernickel bread, chopped dark chocolate, a few tablespoons of Chambord cherry liquor (or cherry juice for a non-alcoholic option), whipped cream, thickened plain yogurt, sugar, and vanilla. 

Defrost the raspberries a few minutes before you start preparing the dessert. This will soften them up. Grind the slices of pumpernickel bread into coarse crumbs in a processor and combine them with the dark chocolate. 

Take the serving glass bowl and soak the above mixture with the juice at the bottom. Bring together the yogurt, sugar, and vanilla in a bowl. Fold in the whipped cream and pour over this mixture on the crumbs. Top it with fresh raspberries, and enjoy! For the ultimate Oktoberfest party, your dirndl dress should look as good as the dessert.
