This Austrian Cake Sparkles at the Party

Move over, macaron. These celebratory little Viennese cakes beg for bubbly alongside. They’re new from Heidi Riegler’s Vienna Cookie Company in Baldwin, N.Y. Called punschkrapferl or punch cakes, they’re the Austrian take on petits fours, with liquor-soaked cake sandwiching fillings of jam and chocolate, glazed on the outside and blinged with a bit of gold leaf. They come in a rainbow of flavors— cherry, orange and spiced rum — seven in each silver tin.

Punch cakes, $60 for seven, viennacookiecompany.com.
