Gelato Festival World Masters 2021
Because of the pandemic the European final of Gelato Festival 2021 was organised online.
Balázs Erdélyi, president of the confectioners guild reported that this year the ice creams of László Nagy (Marcipán Confectionery, Dunaföldvár), Zsolt Karl (Karl Confectionery, Dunaharaszti) and Zoltán Szmolenszky (Chili Cuki, Dunakeszi) qualified for the European final from Hungary.

The competing ice cream makers could prepare their introduction and ice cream preparation videos at the premises of Bulfoni Kft. (the company is owned by Emiliano Bufoni, who has done a lot for the development of Hungarian ice cream making in the past few years), which they sent to Italy where an Italian master prepared the actual ice cream – with the online presence of the Hungarian confectioners.

László Nagy’s Rugelach ice cream finished 4th
No less than 28 ice cream makers from 13 countries competed and the first three qualified for the world final. László Nagy’s Rugelach ice cream finished 4th, Zsolt Karl’s Apricot Cheesecake was ranked 10th and Zoltán Szmolenszky’s Coccomio came in 19th. //
