No trip to Switzerland is complete without having a taste of the traditional Graubundner Nut Cake, a type of sweet, caramelized nut-filled pastry in Switzerland. One of best places to try one would be Backerei Konditorei Schneider's. The famous Graubundner Nut Cake basically consists of a Caramelized Walnuts encased in a buttery, flaky Pie pastry.
