🧵 2/3 It is this mixture of #association and the official institution that makes the centre so lively. The building and cashiers belong to the region, everything else is done by an association of #volunteers. It has more members than villagers. We give #guidedTours, keep the #archives in order, repair items on display, organise #exhibitions and two international #festivals, show #handicrafts and bake #cakes. The cakes served in the cafeteria on Sundays are always home-baked by the women on duty.

A chocolate-coated chocolate mousse bomb decorated with yellow flowers and green stems and leaves. All cakes are numbered for the jury.
A voluminous, luscious chocolate Kugelhopf (an Alsatian bundt cake speciality) with sugar sprinkles and strawberry halves on top and around it.
One cake had long ears - it was formed like a rabbits head.
