An American tries out the German Donauwelle in Cologne, but can't find it in bakeries - an amusing culinary adventure.
Cologne bakeries are failing: Americans can only find Donauwelle in the supermarket!
Ryan, an American who moved to Cologne in North Rhine-Westphalia a few months ago, has embarked on a culinary journey of discovery through Germany. His program includes testing typical German dishes and delicacies, including kebab on “Kebab Day”. He is particularly curious about the Donauwelle, a popular German cake that he has never eaten.
In his quest to find the Donauwelle, Ryan visits several bakeries in Cologne. Despite his persistence, he was unsuccessful five times. His search finally ends in a Rewe store, where he finds what he is looking for in the freezer. There he discovers frozen waves in the Danube and decides to try them out. He films his reaction to the cake and expresses satisfaction with the taste, which increases his anticipation of further culinary discoveries.

In his explorations, Ryan also notes that cherry season is yet to come, while strawberries are currently available. This gives him the opportunity to discover other sweet delicacies that can be prepared with these seasonal fruits.
