It would not be a real Austrian Christmas without the traditional gingerbread or Lebkuchen as we call it. All our Lebkuchen are hand made at Kipferl, following traditional Austrian and German recipes - and you can really taste the difference.
Our talented pastry chefs have been working relentlessly and created a wonderful selection of hand made Lebkuchen for you using only the finest ingredients. The best gingerbread you can buy in the U.K.
A mix of Basler Lebkuchen, chocolate coated gingerbread and ganache Lebkuchen.
The perfect companion for the festive season !
WE ONLY HAVE A VERY LIMITED NUMBER OF OUR HOME MADE KIPFERL LEBKUCHEN - ORDER NOW FOR CHRISTMAS BEFORE WE RUN OUT !

"Not as good as in previous years. The vanilla kipferl lacked dusting. The dough of most of the cookies was a bit one dimensional - lacked salt really. But, the little sacher tortlets - gingerbread man and xmas trees, as well as the big round Lebkuchen were absolutely delicious."
"Really nice gingerbread, some of it harder than expected, but overall tasty Christmas treat! The dark chocolate ones with coconut were delicious!!"
"These were lovely as alway, but I would love to see a gluten free version which wouldn’t upset my digestion!"
"The Christmas cookies were not edible. I had to throw them in the bin. Unfortunately I gifted some to my friends which was hugely embarrassing as they complained to me about them as well. . 🥺😢"
"These were all delicious and I’ll be ordering again next Christmas!"
"A wonderful way to celebrate Christmas! Quality Lebkuchen and traditional Austrian cakes, delivered perfectly ready to indulge. So good, in fact, we had to reorder!"
"Everything us absolutely delicious. I will definitely be ordering MORE next time."
"I always love anything I buy from Kipferl"
"It was very tasty"
All our cakes are made fresh to order in our London kitchen and have at least 3 days shelf life when they arrive. Less creamy ones like the Linzer or Sachertorte will last even longer (over 6 days)
Once the temperature rises over the summer months in the UK, we begin to send ice packs in parcels to keep cakes cool.
Most of our cakes can be frozen as a whole or in pieces. We do not recommend freezing the creamy cakes like Esterhazy, Maronitorte and Cheesecake though.
Yes, please refrigerate all cakes to ensure they stay fresh for as long as possible.
