Magazine: Sunflower becomes Cake of Hungary in 2021

It is a perfect combination of sunflower seeds, chocolate, pear and honey, in which the different flavours are given emphasis by William’s pear pálinka. The runner-up was Autumn Dawn by Nándori Confectionery from Budapest, while the bronze medal went to Szabacs Rubato by Pál Lakatos, (Levendula és Kert Confectionery, Szigetszentmiklós).

Five cakes got into the final

This year cakes also competed in a new category, called One with Nature, which pays tribute to the World Hunting and Nature Exhibition 2021. The winner of this – a cake name Nimród, made by Krisztián Füredi (Hisztéria Confectionery, Tápiószecső) – became the exhibition’s official cake.

This year’s elite team

It was also Mr Füredi who finished first in the Sugar-free Cake of Hungary contest, with his Rose of Beszterce creation. One slice of this contains 12.4g carbohydrate and 206.3kcal. Just like in former years, only guild members are allowed to prepare the winning cakes until the end of the year.
