Balázs Erdélyi, president of the Hungarian Confectioners Guild summarised the events of 2021 in his report.
He told that the guild has new, more modern logos. As part of the National Talent Programme, 15 talented young confectioners could profit from mentoring in the KOVÁSZ programme.
In the Erasmus+ mobility programme 56 guild members have had the chance to learn new things abroad since 2020. Besides Ice Cream of the Year and Cake of Hungary, the guild also organised the One with Nature competition, which paid tribute to the World Hunting and Nature Exhibition.
After the first waves of the pandemic, the guild’s workshop was already working at full capacity in October and November, hosting professional presentations and workshops. //
