In 2009, Elisabeth Gürtler of Hotel Sacher decided to turn a classic edible treat into a fundraising tool. She introduced the “Artists’ Collection”: 1,000 Original Sacher-Tortes packed in a traditional wooden box designed by a well-known Austrian artist.
The 2011 edition (above) was created by Christian Ludwig Attersee. 100% of the proceeds go to the SOS Children’s Village Vienna-Floridsdorf and the Viennese Animal Welfare Organisation.
Check Original Sacher Torte pages for details on how to order. For some reason the Artist's Collection 2011 page shows up only in German version.
Eat your cake, collect art, do good!
