Konditoreien is Namibia's term for "cake shops". These cake shops sell German-inspired or German-influnced cakes and pastries, such as: (1) Apfelstrudel (Apple Strudel- a famous cake also in Germany with the same name);. (2) Sachertorte, a rich chocolate cake that is layered with apricot jam, also found in German Konditorei;. (3) Schwartzwälder Kirchtorte or Black Forest Cake; and other delicious cakes and pastries.

Cakes and pastries available in these "Konditoreien" only show how much the German colonizers has influence the cuisine of Namibia.
