MUNICH (Reuters) - Basti Bruecklmaier shows off a selection of nuts and raisins over which he pours flour, sugar, butter and a secret blend of spices to make one of Germany's tastiest treats - and some of his stollen is destined for Britain's Queen Elizabeth.

The 28-year-old has for years been making the traditional Christmas cake at the family bakery in Munich.
