"Let's continue our roll call, everybody!!~"

Part 2/2

Caramel Frappe Cookie (Age: 28)

A show cannot be made without those who work backstage, and that is what Caramel Frappe Cookie is for! All the props, lighting and sound effects in their shows are taken care of by this cookie. Though there are times where they play as a narrator for certain plays (it's usually either them or Choco Heartlock Cookie).

They are pretty laid back and chill, but is also very passionate when it comes to creating props for any upcoming plays. Yes, they typically do all the props and they tend to pull an all nighters, leaving them extremely tired the next day.

Coffee is the only things that could keep her awake, otherwise, they'd be fast asleep in the theatre's break room. Though Honey Pie Cookie seems to understand and let them rest anyway since she knows they worked so hard to get their props made in time.

Also yes, Caramel Frappe Cookie uses they/them pronouns :>

Pink Lemonade Cookie (Age: 23)

A young songstress and actress of the troupe! She joined the troupe alongside her two schoolmates; Rhubarb Pie Cookie and Butter Toffee Cookie.

She is an absolute sweetheart that likes to get all pumped up whenever they do script readings and rehersals. She's also a little bit clumsy and could easily panic if she notices something isn't right or she made a mistake (she'll get reassured by her fellow troupe members it's going to be alright).

She fell in love with musicals and theatre when she first saw one with her friends in high school. She's since then decided to try to practice her acting as well as her singing skills since then.

She is the younger sister of Black Lemonade Cookie and she is very supportive of the music her big sister makes. She does her best to attend every single concert her sister is in and listen to every single song Black Lemonade Cookie makes even if rock isn't her favorite genre. Black Lemonade Cookie does appreciate her lil sister's efforts in supporting her (also does her best to support her lil sister's shows).

Rhubarb Pie Cookie (Age: 22)

A young actor and backstage assistant that hopes to have this experience find his true passion in fine arts. Unlike Pink Lemonade Cookie and Butter Toffee Cookie, he only joined the troupe because his two friends decided to do so and he has no idea what he should do when he finally graduates. He hopes that he'll find his true purpose within the Golden Nougat Theatre.

He is a soft-spoken cookie with a long patience. He is also pretty smart and creative that he can think outside of the box in which helps the troupe come up with plotlines for their plays. He's the one that diffuses any sort of heated argument whether he would try to get things on topic or switch to a new one.

He likes to eat out in Sandwich Cookie's shop and would sometimes hang around with Pink Lemonade Cookie and Butter Toffee Cookie. There are times that the three of them would practice their skills in acting and singing.

Butter Toffee Cookie (Age: 22)

The most energetic and enthusiastic cookie actor you'll ever meet in the Golden Nougat Theatre Troupe! He is the main reason why Rhubarb Pie Cookie and Pink Lemonade Cookie is in the Golden Nougat Theatre Troupe.

He is very confident about his acting skills that sometimes in script readings, he'd read without his script and it would typically end up in him doing his lines over and over until he gives up and decide to actually read his script. His way of acting is always on point (when he knows what he's doing) and is pretty good at improvising. Honey Pie Cookie absolutely loves his way of improvising since it's either funny or a nice touch to the character he's playing.

He's been doing theatre since his elementary school days. Though cookies in his age tend to shrug him off as an annoying and overconfident cookie, in which would make him feel isolated for the next few years of his school life until he met Pink Lemonade Cookie and Rhubarb Pie Cookie.

There's a certain cookie that made him not give up his dream to become an actor when he was in high school and he's been his hero ever since. He wishes that he'd be able to meet that cookie again, or better yet, they'll get to work together with their troupe and the Golden Nougat Theatre Troupe! But for now, he can only dream...

Salzburg – The Musical Metropolis Beyond Mozart & The Sound of Music

As part of my #YearInAustria project, I set out on a city-hopping tour at the start of summer to uncover the urban hubs of Innsbruck, Salzburg and Graz. My aim is to show you how not all Austrian cities are the same and how they are easy accessible, so you can see different sides to the country even in a short time. Salzburg was my second stop. You can also keep up to date with all my adventures on the Austria Tourism website.

Let’s pretend all of Austria’s major cities are siblings. Vienna would be the classical one with a hidden, gritty second personality. Innsbruck would be sporty and Graz would have Mediterranean flair. Salzburg? She would be exquisitely beautiful and musically gifted.

You get the picture.

There’s more to Austria’s forth-largest city than Mozart and the Sound of Music, but it is first and foremost a musical metropolis, even if this is not your sole purpose for visiting. The streets are filled with buskers, opera singers and all manner of harmonic performers, continuing to fill with melody a city that bore one of the greatest composers of all time. Annually the city plays hosts to over 4,000 cultural events, including the internationally renowned Salzburg Festival, while in-between, die-hard fans of the Sound of Music seek out the film’s famous film scenes, just as I did.

It’s no wonder Salzburg takes the tagline “Stage of the World”. That’s a lot of performance to pack into a compact city.

Yet, it’s also a great place to wander and absorb the history that marks it out from other Austrian cities etched with typical Habsburg style and their own distinct atmosphere. Salzburg is timeless while having carved out a youthful vibrancy; distinctly popular without being disgustingly overcrowded and charming in a way that you always hear about, but which you only connect with once you are there.

Catholic Archbishop Heritage over Hapsburg Legacy in Salzburg

My journey began in the Schloss Leopoldskron, the historic palace 20-minutes from the city centre. The epitome of majestic Salzburg, this historic building from 1736 is surrounded by a shimmering blue lake (of Sound of Music fame), manicured gardens and a mountainous backdrop. In 1918 it was taken over by famous theatre director and founder of the Salzburg Festival, Max Reinhardt who renovated to how it stands today with stunningly decorated rooms and a grand library, all of which you have a free reign to wander. Once the gathering place of writers, composers and other creatives, I couldn’t have asked for a better introduction to a city I had longed to visit for many years. Alas, after an emotional arrival (for reasons I cannot work out I just wanted to burst into tears the second I stood in the grounds here) and gorging on Palace interiors, the city was calling.

Salzburg’s historic city centre has been a World Heritage Site since 1997 and seen as the most significant baroque city north of the Alps. It was built to be exquisite and display prosperity. Occupying a special position in Europe as a Roman stronghold on the junction of a military road that linked the north and south of Europe, it came into being in the 7th Century (year 700) when it was founded and ruled by independent Catholic Prince archbishops. It’s absence of grand Hapsburg touches are replaced by those of the secular kind – with Cathedrals and beautiful baroque church spires, all set within large open Italian flair squares which today are filled with artworks and views to the castle on the hilltop. The Archbishops’ power and affluence continued well into the 19th century, who built the city from the wealth accumulated through salt trading (hence the city’s name). It only became a part of the Habsburg Empire in 1816.

In place of pastel candy coloured noble houses and overshadowing the art nouveau touches of Austrian monarchy, you’ll find pretty avenues (a highlight being the Getreidegasse shopping mile full of traditional confectioners, tailors and weavers alongside international brands), hidden courtyards, narrow cobbled streets, palaces, gardens and fountains like those of the Mirabell, topped off with a scattering of mint-coloured rooftops.

The city’s 1,000 protected buildings can be admired from various elevated viewpoints in the city, the best being the rooftop of the Museum of Modern Art, which is a complete window on the city that includes the 11th century Hohensalzburg Fortress – the medieval castle that watches over the city (itself a frequented panoramic vantage point).

There’s a Lot of History in Salzburg, but an Arty, Youthful Presence

I always like to see how old cities add some modern spark in order to stay interesting and relevant to all manner of visitors. Salzburg is decadent but it isn’t without a subtle coating of youthful vibes and modern creative inclusions, which are fun to find and push you to explore outside the historic centre.

Modern artworks like the man on the golden globe and the giant interactive chessboard, add colour and inquisitiveness to old squares as you stop and gaze at the baroque structures that dominate. Get to Steingasse, across the river from the Historical Old Town. It is the oldest street in Salzburg and the historical alleyway of the city, yet is a place where street art and trendy neighbourhood vibes are emerging.

While you are on this side of the river wander through the neighbourhood of Andräviertel. It’s quieter, has some independent stores and cafes, adding to a growing bohemian feel that make it feel like a different ‘halve’ of Salzburg across the water.

A University City, you’ll stumble across from the hum of coffee houses in courtyards, trendy bars and eateries that feed the young heart. Salzburg is even where ‘Lederhosen Donnerstag’ (Lederhosen Thursday) was established, where young people come together in traditional clothing to socialise and muse in a modern establishment on this chosen day of the week. The city is known for its endless array of Dirndl and Lederhosen shops, and this fun movement keeps the culture alive. There wasn’t an event on when I was there, although I did shop for a dirndl (albeit there was too much choice). I’ve since been to an event in Vienna and while not as established, the sentiment is spreading!

Five Centuries of Salzburg Beer Heritage

Salzburg is a city with over 500 years of beer heritage. It’s a rite of passage to immerse yourself in Salzburg’s beer heritage and sip on a Steiner at the Augustiner Brewery as you marvel the history of the monks. Choose the size of your Steiner, pay for it and then let one of the guys fill you up from the barrel. Find a table, socialise with locals and grab some traditional foods, which you can find served outside the giant beer halls. Even if you are on your own, as I was, you will strike up a conversation since sharing tables is a part of the beer culture. My best friend, Steph demonstrates the scale of the beer and the atmosphere perfectly from her visit a month before mine.

Still thirsty? Head to the 17th century established Stiegl Brewery that is still in operation today.

OK, Back to Music… Because I Went on the Sound of Music Tour!

Hollywood can often ruin a city, especially one made famous by the longest standing musical film of all time that attracts over 300,000 tourists a year. However, while some of the 1965 film’s scenes are within the centre of the city, many remain outside of it, accessible only by your own meticulous planning (and special permission) or via The Sound of Music Panorama Tours bus.

I admit I was a little pessimistic about a bus tour since I like to bounce around on my own time. But here’s the honesty. It was one of the most fun mornings I’ve ever had – a bus full of excitable Sound of Music fans hyper on Do Re Me, My Favourite Things, How do You Solve a Problem like Maria and all other tunes, while staring out of the window at Salzburg’s green vistas. Panorama Tours have created a sing-along, multi-stop schedule that runs every day of the year (because it is THAT in demand). It stops at various highlights including the other side of the Schloss Leopoldskron pond (access is only available if you stay at the property), the white gazebo known for “Sixteen going on Seventeen”, passes the outskirts of Villa Trapp, heads out to the church where Maria and Captain Von Trapp got married and ends at the beautiful Schloss Mirabell in the city. So you can dance on the Pegasus (Do-Re-Mi) fountain and snap yourself on the famous stairs at the Mirabell Gardens.

The tour is also a way of getting out in the surrounding nature of Salzburg, where you can spot the Untersberg (the panoramas used in the opening scenes of the Sound of Music). While the city is pocketed with gardens and cycle paths, the mountain ranges of the Mönchsberg, Festungberg and Kapuzinerberg hug the city, whose old and modern districts are divided by the river Salzach. On the Panorama Tours bus you weave through these mountainous valleys and past half a dozen lakes, getting an introduction to the diversity of Salzburg state.

And… you can’t Visit Salzburg Without Honouring Mozart (even if it’s with chocolate)

Mozart is the city’s most famous son, born and bred in Salzburg and forever a part of its legacy. Born in Getreidegasse 9 (in 1756), today fans flock for a picture outside the building’s brightly painted yellow façade, which now incorporates a permanent exhibition about his life and career, and modern Spar supermarket on the lower level. Afterwards, you can indulge in a “Mozartkugel” chocolate, whose silver and blue wrapper marks it out as the “Original Salzburger Mozartkugel” – the real deal compared to the red and gold wrapped ‘souvenir’ style Mozartkugels found elsewhere in Austria.

There’s a lot of pride here over the delicious mesh of green marzipan that’s layered with nougat and dark chocolate, which you can buy from Fürst on Brodgasse. In 1890, master confectioner Paul Fürst invented this treat and named it after the city’s composer, who was not even that famous at the time. It is still produced by hand to this day with the original recipe and I can confirm it does indeed taste a lot better than the mass-produced ones (because I’m now a chocolate kugel snob).

Honour the legends of Salzburg and take yourself on the musical journeys it is worthy of, but know there are more stories in its architecture, art, old alleyways and trendy neighbourhoods that are giving this city more reasons for a visit.

Things to Note:

How to get to Salzburg

Salzburg has an airport, but is an easily accessible city from anywhere in Austria, especially the major city hubs. Salzburg is a 2.5-hour train ride from Vienna, 2 hours from Innsbruck and 4 hours from Graz, easily accessible via the ÖBB network.

Entrance fees and Getting Around Salzburg

The Salzburg Card gives you access to all museums, transport and discounts in certain stories and other outlets. It’s especially good if you want to visit the Museum of Modern Art just for the view, while using it for other advantages. A 24-hour card costs €24, 48-hour €32 and a 72-hour card is €37. There are also Salzburg hotel and card packages from €119.

Where to stay in Salzburg

Suggested historical city centre hotels include the centrally located 3* Bergland Hotel, and the real Villa Trapp. For those looking for ultimate luxury and a magnificent backdrop of mountains, stay in the wonderful Schloss Leopoldskron.

How Can I Book the Sound of Music Tour?

Sound of Music fans should take the Panorama Tours musical bus all around the key film locations and out into the surrounding lake areas. The musical is also shown at the Salzburg Marionette Theatre and at the Salzburg State Theatre (check if it’s a live sing-along!).

I want to be in Salzburg During a Festival. When do they take place?

For more information of Salzburg’s world-acclaimed events including the summer Salzburg Festival, the Salzburg Easter Festival and ‘Mozart Week’ check out the online Salzburg events calendar.

For further information on Salzburg…

Check out the Salzburg Tourist information website. For further information about planning your trip around Austria visit the Austria Tourism website, where you can also keep up to date with all my adventures.

"Golden Nougat Theatre Troupe, it's time for a roll call!~"

Part 1/2

Choco Heartlock Cookie (Age: 27)

The scriptwriter of this theatre troupe that also works as a journalist for the Daily Cookie City News.

She has a passion for writing stories (whether they may be fiction or not) and will not hesitate to stand up for herself.

The golden locked heart on her chocolate hair is a heirloom she had ever since she came to be in Earthbread. She has no idea if there is a key that opens it, but nonetheless, she perceives it as a special item she needs to protect.

Well acquainted with Timekeeper Cookie and is friends with Coffee Candy Cookie (alongside everyone in the Golden Nougat Theatre Troupe)

Pumpkin Spice Cookie (Age: 30)

An actress that has been in the theatre industry ever since she was a young cookie.

She, Cream Cheese Cookie and Honey Pie Cookie are the founders of the Golden Nougat Theatre (as well as the troupe itself).

She is a sophisticated cookie that prefers to have things pre-planned and organized. She tries her best to keep calm whenever she sees someone with a disorganized or chaotic demeanor (she HATES things not going according to the agenda).

Cream Cheese Cookie (Age: 31)

An actor and a casting director with the hopes and dreams to be a famous cookie day. He's the oldest cookie amongst the rest of the cookies in the theatre troupe.

He is confident in his acting skills and is slightly egotistical about it. But of course, that doesn't mean he is the greatest among his peers! He uses his knowledge always does his best to teach the younger theatre cookies to better display their acting skills, and whenever he ever makes a mistake, he's sure to apologize and reflect on the ways to improve himself.

Also, he's not just knowledgeable with acting, but he knows a lot about the lore that revolves around Earthbread. He said that the books comes from a relative of him from overseas, whom seems to enjoy to write about such stories and it helps Cream Cheese Cookie get inspiration to act sometimes.

Cookies tend to ask him if he's related with Roguefort Cookie and he's usually offended by it because why would any cookie assume that a well-mannered artist such as himself be in the same jam-line as a phantom thief?? Whether the two know each other or not remains a mystery

Honey Pie Cookie (Age: 29)

The director for the Golden Nougat Theatre Troupe! She's the one to make sure that her vision for her various plays are just as she envisioned it and will be enjoyable to the audience.

She's the kind of cookie that doesn't want to let opportunities go to waste, and even if it may seem risky, she makes sure that all turns out well in the end. No matter how difficult things may be, she always finds a way to keep going and be positive about it. And of course, a director should hear out the feelings of her fellow theatre cookies and understand them wholeheartedly.

She adores hearing out new concepts and ideas for their next plays. After all, she believes that she isn't the only cookie that could come up with such unique stories! This may just be one of the reasons she begged Choco Heartlock Cookie to join their troupe.
