Cake of Hungary semi-final
Just like in former years, to celebrate 20 August – the day commemorating King Saint Stephen who established the Hungarian state – the guild has organised the Cake of Hungary contest for the 16th time.
The first round of the competition took place at the SIRHA Budapest trade fair. Each competing cake was exhibited in glass cabinets, and master confectioner Ádám Pataki was the moderator of the jury panel’s evaluation work. This year poppy seed, sour cherry, chestnut, Tokaj wines and sour cream were the most popular ingredients. Some confectioners used exciting ingredients such as sweet potato and goose liver, and two cakes were made with potato mousse.
