I Want to Use Delicious Baumkuchen as Wedding Favors

Baumkuchen, with its layers resembling tree rings, carries a happy message that symbolizes the years of marriage, making it a popular choice for wedding favors.

But…

Isn't it interesting that many people seem to have the impression that they do not really like Baumkuchen, even though it should be a classic treat?

The main reason often given is that "it's too dry."

“One of the most common complaints from those who dislike Baumkuchen is that it takes away all the moisture from the mouth, making it feel heavy and leaving them thirsty.”
