Life is about trying something new and exciting— About taking risks and experiencing other cultures. December 5th is National Sachertorte Day; a dessert made exclusively in Vienna. Take time today to research the Sachertorte of Vienna. You may just find it so appealing that you feel the need to share your findings with friends and family this holiday season. If you hope to have it on your table for all to enjoy before the New Year, place your order today! The Sachertorte was first created in 1832 and is only made in Vienna and Salzburg, Austria. Lucky for sweet treat connoisseurs in other countries, they are kind enough to ship globally. If you or someone you know is expecting to have a child, consider these names derived from Austria that might catch your attention.
