Children's cookie paradise
In a prime location at Hauptplatz 31, baking cookies will once again be an experience this year. The Adami family has kindly made the existing open space available to City Marketing for the children's cookie paradise before the building is completely renovated.
Under the loving and professional guidance of elementary school teachers, delicious gingerbread is decorated and can be eaten immediately on site or taken home. The Rainer confectionery acts as a partner here, providing the delicacies for the children.
