Biergarten Restaurant in the Germany Pavilion of EPCOT has updated their dessert offerings, now offering a Black Forest Baumkuchen Trifle instead of a black forest cake.
Biergarten Restaurant Desserts
For comparison, above is what the dessert bar previously looked like. From left to right, it offered the black forest cake, pretzel brownies, Bavarian cheesecake, cobbler, and pineapple. Apple strudel and chocolate chip cookies were also available. Below is the new array of desserts at Biergarten Restaurant.
Pineapple remains but the other desserts have all been replaced. They come in cupcake-like sample sizes instead of cut pieces from a larger cake or brownie tray.
The Apple Strudel (Apfelstrudel) and kids’ chocolate chip cookies remain the same. The Apple Strudel is still cut as relatively large pieces from a full pie.
Vanilla sauce (VanillesoBe) is also still available on the side. There used to be berry compote, too, but it’s gone.
Replacing the black forest cake is Black Forest Baumkuchen Trifle (Schwarzwälder Baumkuchen-Trifle). Despite the name, it no longer resembles a Baumkuchen, which literally means “tree cake” because it looks like a log. The trifle instead comes in a verrine.
The dessert features layers of berry compote, sponge cake, and whipped cream. It’s topped with a Mickey-shaped chocolate piece in the colors of the German flag.
Next is the Bee Sting Cake (Bienestich). Traditionally, this cake is made of sweet yeast dough, caramelized almonds, and a filling of vanilla custard, buttercream, or cream. It comes in cupcake form with cream on top.
The Mini Sacher Cake (Mini-Sacher-Torte) is a chocolate cupcake with chocolate shavings on top.
Last is the Salted Caramel Cheesecake with pretzel crumbles and Werther’s Original Caramel.

We were there last week and were disappointed they changed the deserts.. My favorite last year was the blueberry crumble/cobbler and they removed it! The new deserts are nothing unique from the other restaurants.
I miss the blueberry cheesecake. They also got rid of the mini hotdogs when I was there two weeks ago.
horrible what a joke
We were there last night. They have added potato pancakes to the side dishes and we really enjoyed them.
The desserts were a HUGE disappointment. The bee sting was tasteless and the Black Forest was a joke. We asked to speak to the chef. She came out and we were told the new desserts were updates.
These are cheap sad updates
