The “King of Cakes,” Wolfgang Kelke, could now become the “King of Pretzels” Down Under.

The king has taken off his crown - Wolfgang Kelke, THE King of Cakes, has sold his Brisbane business after more than 30 years. But Wolfgang is far from retirement. His mission: to make the pretzel known throughout Australia. With his good mood and Bavarian pretzel pastry in his luggage, “The Jolly German” travels through Australia in his camper.
