This baker is feeding the French-German Euros soccer rivalry

by making sweet treats and baked goods in team designs and colors

Location: Moosinning, Germany

(SOUNDBITE) (German) BAKER AND MASTER CONFECTIONER, LUDOVIC GERBOIN, SAYING:

"I like to bake and look at everything a little. Some are French, some are German. I take what I get. It's all very mixed up. Some have a French idea and German baking traditions, or a German idea and French baking traditions. I like to mix it up a little."

The Frenchman has lived in Germany for years

and the treats are emblematic of his torn allegiance

(SOUNDBITE) (German) BAKER AND MASTER CONFECTIONER, LUDOVIC GERBOIN, SAYING:

"I hope France wins, but Belgium has become a very good team recently. England is a bit of an outsider. Portugal? I don't know really, maybe not this year. Of course, I am hoping it's France. Germany is also a favorite, but I am cheering for France."
