The mere thought of a Zuger Kirschtorte makes your mouth water. The inventor of the cake, pastry chef Heiri Höhn, won countless awards and gold medals for his culinary masterpiece. After him, his head pastry chef and later successor Treichler continued the tradition with the same passion, perfect craftsmanship and innovative spirit and played a decisive role in shaping the history of Zuger Kirschtorte.
Hollywood celebrities Audrey Hepburn and Charlie Chaplin, General Henri Guisan and British Prime Minister Winston Churchill were among the fans of Zuger Kirschtorte, to name but a few. Even under Treichler's leadership, Zuger Kirschtorte remained an internationally prized top product and continued to be regularly ordered to Rome by celebrities including Pope Francis.
