“Without the cakes, the business would no longer exist.”
Alaa Schaaban

1992The Scharpak family takes over the bakery on Lüneburger Straße. Silke is there from the start, already a master pastry chef back then. The shop is at the front, the bakehouse behind it. That has not changed to this day: whatever is in the display in the morning was baked a few metres away.

2007Silke Scharpak-Schaaban takes over the business as owner, together with Alaa Schaaban, pastry chef. Everything is still baked in-house, bread and rolls just like the cakes, down to the last rose. At some point the bakehouse ran out of space, which is why there is an extension. And at the front, the café has become more and more important over the years.

TodayOf the artisan bakeries Soltau used to have, we are the last. The team is in the bakehouse long before we open at six, and everything is shaped by hand.

The recipes go back to Silke's father. Silke took them over from him, Alaa has developed them further, for the bread just as for the cakes. Some people now take our barbecue bread along when they are invited somewhere, and then get asked where it is from.

What is left over is not thrown away

With so many varieties, there is always something left over in the evening. We pass it on through the Too Good To Go app, at a fixed collection time: baked goods worth over €12 for €4.

Over 1,500 bags a quarter get eaten this way instead of thrown away.
