He organized a reception of high-ranking guests and gave orders on a special dessert for them. The formal reception was of crucial importance, so von Metternich was believed to say famous words “Let there be no shame on me tonight!” But unfortunately the chief cook has fallen ill, so Franz Sacher, a trainee of only 16 years old, made bold to cook a dessert for the reception at his own risk.
