Merry Christmas!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you had a nice year in 2019, mine was quite eventful, I didn't have time to bake a lot, or explore new recipes as I was studying graphic design besides working, and doing my driving license. :) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But for Christmas, I can not resist, I am baking a LOT! :D</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I started of course with gingerbread cookies, and my tradition to bake a gingerbread house for Hungary's biggest gingerbread village in Budapest. It is a free exchibition, held in the Bálna shopping mall, and volunteers like me bake the houses. Each year it is getting bigger, many families bake, and besides the adorable houses, famous and creative buildings are built as well, like the Big Ben, our Chain Bridge, Star Wars space ships, or in 2016 I baked the Gru's house. <a href="https://hungarianfoodguide.blogspot.com/search/label/M%C3%A9zeskal%C3%A1csv%C3%A1ros" target="_blank">(Check previous years' review posts here)</a> It will be open in January untill the end of February.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, this year I baked a pastry shop with many happy customers. :) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The recipe was the same I used in all of<a href="https://hungarianfoodguide.blogspot.com/2012/12/gingies-how-to-make-gingerbreads.html" target="_blank"> my previous gingerbread cookies recipes</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Let's see the steps, and the final photos below!</div>

Now this was my new idea, I used tooth picks for more stability for the roof. I let them stick to the icing, then I added more icing and "glued" the roof on top.</div>

<span style="color: #741b47;"><b>Hi Dears, </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47;"><b>Christmas is on the corner, and it means only one thing --> we can eat as many gingerbreads as we can shamelessly, as we will start the diet, anyway on New Year's Day, right? </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47;"><b>Oh yeah. </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47;"><b>But now, I won't just eat them, I participated again, for the third time in a wonderful event here in Budapest, where we bake and share our own gingerbread houses. We place them together in an exhibition hall in the Bálna Shopping Mall, and we build a magical gingerbread-house village again. Every building has its unique style, and we can see fantastic ideas year-by-year. I am very excited to see this year's opening.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47;"><b>The exhibition will be open from 22-Dec until the end of February, except the days of Christmas, and on New Year's Day.</b></span></div>

<span style="color: #741b47;"><b>I baked the house some weeks before. </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47;"><b>Fortunately it held up, and it didn't collapsed. :) </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47;"><b>It turned out to be rather girly after the decoration, so I decided to add some pink cat owners to the house. (I painted the walls yellow, and its windows are small holes, I even came up with an idea that it is like cheese, so the house would attract little mice...) </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47;"><b>Then I shaped two 3D cats from marzipan to make it more fun. I hope the kids will like them. :) </b></span></div>

<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">You have might realized that I stopped posting recipes here this year, the reason is that I am quite busy to try out and make experiments with new recipes. I do bake regularly, but I tend to bake my favorite recipes over and over with only slight changes. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The reason of my busyness, is that I have started another school, this time I study <b>graphic design</b>, where I can develop my artistic skills. :) </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>Hello Friends! </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: #cc0000;">The most beautiful day in my life (so far) was in June, </span><span style="color: #990000;">we got married with the love of my life.</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: #cc0000;">I was so excited, I wanted to do nearly everything by myself, the decor, the organizing, and yes... The cake! Now I wouldn't suggest it to any brides to bake their own wedding cake, as the days before the big day are already stressful enough, but it was so nice that I could tell to our guests, that</span><span style="color: #990000;"> I BAKED IT</span><span style="color: #cc0000;">! </span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>The cake itself was a 4 layered cake, each layer with different tastes. And I baked a separate gluten-free cake, about 50 muffins for the dessert table and 160 heart shaped gingerbread as Thank you gifts.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>Yes, I know, I am weird to do all this, but I loved baking them. The most stressful part of this was the way to the venue, as we had to deliver all this with our car, with the rest of the decoration and wedding dress. Fortunately, we could divide all these in two cars. </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>So, In this post I will show you more details how I baked this huge cake, and the rest of the sweets. (And some insight into our wedding)</b></span></div>
<br />

<br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>So, let me introduce the cake.</b></span><br />

<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>OMG last year it was a really busy season for me, (you could guess, that is why I haven't been posting lately) I changed my workplace, and I have a financial office job again, so baking got back to my hobby again... </b></span></div>

<b style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #990000;">I didn't bake it for myself, I participated in a </span><span style="color: #cc0000;">community program</span><span style="color: #990000;"> for the City, where everyone brings her/his self-baked gingerbread house, and we build together a Gingerbread village in the center of Budapest. </span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #990000;">Then everyone who visits it can admire the beautiful little village for free of charge untill </span><span style="color: #cc0000;">29-January-2017</span><span style="color: #990000;">. So if you are in Budapest, you can go, it is in the </span><span style="color: #cc0000;">Bálna Shopping mall</span><span style="color: #990000;">, in the exhibition hall. :)</span></b></div>

<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Hi Dears, </span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I got a super exciting request to test and review honestly a <span style="color: #e69138;">hand-made</span> professional <span style="color: #783f04;">knife</span>.</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> </span></b><b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I got the chance to use this knife for some weeks to be able to provide my opinion on it. </span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I accepted, as I was curious, and it didn't need too much effort on my side, as I cook every weekend, anyway. I tried as many things to cut as I could in the past three weeks.</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">(It is not a sponsored post, I highlight it again, these will be my honest lines. :) ) </span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">OK, so let's start from the beginning... :) </span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">A Hungarian artisan knife making company, <span style="color: #b45f06;"><a href="http://cerberuscutlery.com/index.php/meet-the-crew/" target="_blank">Cerberus Cutlery </a></span>contacted me if I would like to review their new premium knife. When I accepted, they asked me about my <span style="color: #b45f06;">gloves size</span>. (Wow! I thought, they do take it seriously.)</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">That was the <span style="color: #b45f06;">first sign</span> for me that this knife should be really <span style="color: #e69138;">special </span>if they want to adjust it to my small hands. </span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">By the way, it is a really great thought as most of the chefs are men </span></b><b style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">with </span></b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; text-align: center;"><b>strong physique to be able to carry 50 kg of trays, cauldron, etc... </b></span><b style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">with hands 6 times bigger than mine. As I later was told they always started with this, as each and every knife was made specially to its owner, one by one, carefully in every detail.</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> </span></b></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The second sign that this knife is special was the way the gentleman carried it to me. The knife has it's <span style="color: #783f04;">safe deposit box</span> with keys. I guess they do take care of its safety and really it has much bigger value than any of my regular chef knives.</span></b></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The third sign was the knife itself. Its grip was so beautiful. It turned out that the gentleman who delivered the knife, <span style="color: #b45f06;">Peter Pók</span> made it </span></b><b style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">himself</span></b><b style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">, carved it to my size.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So these were my first thoughts on the knife's </span></b><span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>appearance, I was excited to test it as well.</b></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><br /></b></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>I was thinking if I should complete any strange cutting challenges, does it cut this or that the way I think it would? Then I decided to use it normally, as I would use any other chef knives. But to see and feel the difference I cut the things first with this knife, than with my regular chef knives. </b></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><br /></b></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>I got quite a few now, I got some of them as gift from my family. I even have more that are not in the picture. (A knife is always useful, right? :D ) I have an old buddy, that was my very first chef knife I had to buy it for the cooking lessons in the University. They requested the knife blade to reach at least 20 cm! Usually this is my go-to-chef-knife when I am cooking. This is the one next to the premium knife. </b></span></span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I had the chance to cook 3 weekend lunch and some dinners with the new knife. I really like chef knives, they are so useful, if you have a good chef knife, you don't need any more knives, in any types. The most important is that it should be </span></b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>well-sharpened, it is the safest, also!</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So back to the knife, here comes my review.</span></b></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>My first experience with the knife was with a tomato mozzarella salad.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The tomato part was easy-peasy, I could cut it effortlessly with both knives. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I was more curious on the salad part.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I realized that the premium knife is heavier than my old buddy.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">With my old chef knife I had to push it hard to cut through.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">With the premium knife I didn't have to, as the knife itself was heavy enough to cut through the salad, although it was heavy to lift up.</b></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Hi Dears, </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><span style="color: #990000;">Summer just started, that means we can go on our holidays soon, but also that means that the </span><span style="color: #cc0000;">WEDDING Season</span><span style="color: #990000;"> started, too. :)</span></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><span style="color: #990000;">There is a time in everybody's life when wedding means a lot to us, especially when we are having our own.</span></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><span style="color: #990000;"><br /></span></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>As I started to plan our own wedding, I realised that I know too little about weddings. I had an idea in my had, how I imagined my perfect wedding, me and my fiancé happily say yes to each other somewhere in the nature. </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>But organising it to be perfect is a much more difficult job.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><span style="color: #990000;">So, I decided to study </span><span style="color: #cc0000;">wedding planning</span><span style="color: #990000;">. :) Soon I will have my degree on it, who knows, besides mine, I will be able to plan other's special big day, too. :D</span></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Ours will be next year if everything goes well, but this year one of my best friends had her wedding. </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><span style="color: #990000;">It was her idea, to make </span><span style="color: #cc0000;">bon-bons</span><span style="color: #990000;"> for the guests as a thank you gift. Of course I helped her make them :)</span></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><span style="color: #990000;">+ The same week one of my high school teacher, who I really liked, asked me to bake a </span><span style="color: #cc0000;">wedding cake for her daughter</span><span style="color: #990000;">. I was so afraid of it, as it was my first time to bake such an important cake :) Would I succeed? Will they like it? But she trusted me, and the cake was only 20 pieces so I accepted the challenge, and baked it.</span></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><span style="color: #990000;">They asked a </span><span style="color: #cc0000;">carrot cake</span><span style="color: #990000;"> with white icing on top, no marzipan or fondant, and to decorate the top with the icing itself, modestly, and to have a note Mazel tov.</span></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>I enjoyed baking and decorating it, as they allowed me to go on my taste, I didn't have to follow any other guidelines. </b></span></div>

<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>For the carrot cake I followed my previous <a href="http://www.hungarianfoodguide.com/2016/03/carrot-cake-for-easter.html" target="_blank">Carrot cake recipe</a>, only I doubled the quantity. </b></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>2. Then I made the cream cheese icing, and spread it on the cakes, on top and on the sides too. This was the most difficult part, to have a completely smooth surface at the end.</b></span></div>

<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>1. Start with baking sponge cakes. You can separate the mixture into two baking molds, but at least one of them should be circle shaped, so that it would have a cake figure.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>(I baked a pink flat sponge, and cut heart shapes from it, I used them later on)</b></span><br />

<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>So divide the eggs, whisk the egg whites with some tbsp of sugar to get a nice foam. And whisk the egg yolks with the rest of the sugar. Then pour the half of the flour into the mixture, gently stir the egg foam in it, and then sift the flour and the baking powder in it. Stir the mixture gently. I even put candied orange peel in it, because it makes it even better. Bake them on 180 degree C, for 30 minutes, or if you bake flat sponge cakes 12-15 minutes is enough.</b></span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>In this post I am writing about the exam, which was nearly 10 hours long. </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>We knew that it would be a tough day, and it really was...</b></span></div>

<a name='more'></a><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>OMG I am so happy that I am over this big exam now. :D </b></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>I even get tired just thinking of that day. </b></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Usually, on a working day I get up at 6. That day, I was already in the school at 6:15, with 2 travelling bags, and 2 cakes. </b></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Everybody came like Santa Clauses with big sacs, with full of stuffs, kitchen gadgets, ingredients, one or two cakes, mixers, spatulas, someone even brought a hair dryer. Yes, for a pastry exam!</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>It needs some explanation, our school has two pastry kitchens, with ovens, stoves, counters, and gadgets. Only one problem that in the two rooms, there are only 2 Kitchen-Aids, and we were 15 examinees.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>During the lessons, sometimes the school didn't have enough money to buy proper, good quality ingredients, however we paid for this course quite a lot, so when we didn't got like good chocolate for bon-bons, we brought those from home. </b></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>So as we didn't know what to expect at the exam, we brought ingredients as well. (And hid them in our sacs, to have the opportunity to use them if necessary.) Fortunately, for the exam we got good ingredients, so we didn't use ours.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>But for the gadgets, everyone brought their own mixers, blenders, spatulas, etc.. Because we were really short in time, we needed to bake 3 products and decorate one cake with fondant/marzipan in 7 hours, so we didn't have time for standing in a row to a kitchen aid, or to push away people to open a drawer to get a knife. So we packed our kitchen and carried everything to the school.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>(The hair dryer was for drying bon-bon molds, because even one small water drop can dirty a shiny chocolate bon-bon)</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Ok, so we were there early morning, we dressed into our cook uniforms, we panicked about 15 minutes together, and at 6:45 AM we were all in the pastry kitchen, listening to the three outsider examiners to start the exam.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>To my surprise I knew one of them, she was my lovely hotel management teacher from University, I liked her courses very much, so I was happy to see her again. Which was even better, that she remembered me as well, and wished me good luck. :) </b></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>After this beautiful moment, there came the worse.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>I picked the only line item that I didn't want to pick. (You know we had 15 items, with 45 products to bake, each had 3) </b></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Usually the 3 products are: one baker's product (scones, crescents) , one cake, and one bon-bon/ice-cream/cream in cup) </b></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>But there were two more difficult ones, where the last one is not that easy, they were plated dessert with mini-cakes. A bon-bon or a cream takes about 30 minutes, now a mini-cake takes exactly the same time, like a regular cake, and you have to decorate the plate as well, with at least 3 ingredients. </b></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>So I picked number 15, so I had to bake cabbage rolls, indiáner creamy donuts, and lúdláb (goose leg) plated desserts.</b></span><br />

<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>- You have to caramelize cabbage, while continuous stirring, that means you have to stand near the stove for 20 minutes, when you can't do anything else at the same time.</b></span><br />

<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>-This dessert needs way too much hustle. First, you bake 2 hemispheres, from sponge cake. Then, you make holes on their bottoms, you stick these twos with boiling hot jam (which is simmering, so burning danger is on) then you dip this donut in this hot jam, and let it dry. Then in the exam we had to dip these into chocolate fondan, which is a thick sugar syrup, the same like on the mignons. I prefer these to be dipped into real melted chocolate. You can easily unmake the fondan, it is hard in room temperature, and it is liquid over 40 degree Celsius. The only problem, that if it is hotter than 50 than you can through it away, it never will be liquid again. </b></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>After dipping, you let them harden, then you cut the upper 1/3 part down, fill the hole with whipped cream, and put the upper part back on. </b></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>My question is why? Why are we doing this fuss, when the taste of the result is the same like you brush a flat sponge cake with jam, cover it with chocolate, and decorate the top with whipped cream? Ok, the little bun looks way much better, but is it worth it?</b></span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Hi Dears!</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Today I brought another popular Hungarian confection that we call "Képviselő fánk", which means Congressmen Bun.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>To be honest I didn't really care why it had its unusual name for a bakery product, we just call it like that, no big deal. </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>But as I am writing this recipe for you now, I looked it up, and I found the explanation. This product became popular in the 19th century, when café houses were common, and people could afford to buy confections on a daily basis. Even the buffets had cakes and these creamy bakery products in their variety, and according to the legend, this was the most popular bun among the congressmen in the buffet of the House of Parliament. </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Now I wonder what is the menu there, if there are any buffets today... :)</b></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Hi Dears,</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Today, I brought You little, sweet sandvich-looking darlings, that you can find in all of the traditional confectioneries in Hungary. </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>When I was a trainee in one of them, for almost half a year, I filled thousands of these with jam. The fun part (which I think is the fun part) is to create the shells with the decorating bag, was always the professional's job, as that was the part where the neros could go wrong. Each and every neros should be the same size to look beautiful in a plate.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>The other big challenge while baking it, is actually the baking time. One second you see them unbaked, in the next second they are burned. </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>If you ask any confectioners which product burns the most, they would answer the neros. </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>However, the customers love them, and so do we.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Why? After you fill them with jam, give them 2-3 hours (in the confectioneries they even give them 2-3 days to let them soften) and you will have the softest, and the tastiest little sweet sandwiches of the World. </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>I don't really know why we have the 'Macaron craziness' everywhere, when we have a much more delicious sweet, yes if you like the colors, you can color this sponge, too. And yes you can use any kind of filling for this sweet, too, like ganache, cream, etc..</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>So, Neros I am cheering for You, to win over Macarons!!!</b></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>I have 2 months till my final exam at my pastry school, and I still have some pastries, cakes, and creams to practice.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Last week I baked two of them, neros (which are little soft biscuits filled with jam - you can have the recipe in my following post) and this </span><span style="color: #990000;">Cottage cheese cake. </span></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">We celebrated my </span><span style="color: #990000;">fiancé's grandma's Name Day</span><span style="color: #cc0000;"> as well, so the cake was my gift to her. :)</span></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">I am short in time as now I have a full time job, and at home we are under a home renovation. </span></b></span></div>

Anyway, I didn't bake it, just to look at it, we cut it right away, I took it from the fridge, and believe me it was tasty! In this hot summer it was great refreshment as we cooled it for 3 hours in the fridge.</span></b></span></div>

<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>I was sure that I wanted a slice of cake... So let's see... They had at least 3 different kinds of chocolaty cakes, pies, Belgian gluten-free chocolate cake...</b></span></div>

<div style="font-weight: bold; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-weight: bold; text-align: center;">
A raspberry paleo cake, a gluten-free Carrot cake and the Belgian Milk Chocolate Cake (gluten-free, too) which I mentioned, already.</div>
<div style="font-weight: bold; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-weight: bold; text-align: center;">
I chose the Mediterranean Cottage-cheese cake, as I wanted something light as it was before lunch time, I didn't want to replace that with cake... (Why not?:)) </div>
<div style="font-weight: bold; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-weight: bold; text-align: center;">
But I did. It was delicious, and creamy, I think it had cream cheese in it as well, as it was heavier than the regular yogurt-cottage cheese or whipped cream-cottage cheese combinations that I used to know in other confectioneries.</div>
<div style="font-weight: bold; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-weight: bold; text-align: center;">
It did replaced my lunch, at the last bites I really had to slow down to eat the whole. At that point, I made the photo, and I marked the portion of the slice with the line. It was quite big, and satisfactory. </div>

It's a chocolate covered dessert, which has whipped cream in the middle. It's really a retro dessert here, 1 of 10 pastry shops has them but only for nostalgic reasons. I made it so many times at my previous trainee program in the café, I don't really like it. It needs too much hustle, the sponge is a difficult one, you need two </span></span></b><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #351c75;">hemisphere shaped sponge for one dessert. Then You make a hole in each. Then boil jam and use it to stick them together and cover the whole. (Yes this point it is so easy to burn yourself) And then you let it dry, then dip them into chocolate, or at the exam into chocolate fondant, which I absolutely hate, it's melted sugar 100% with a little bit of chocolate just to color it, eeeh) Then let it dry again, then cut the 1/3</span></span></span></b></div>

And the final result? A nice chocolate donut with whipped cream. 80% more hustle than a simple chocolate cake slice with whipped cream on the top, and tastes the same.... You know what I mean? I like baking interesting desserts that take making more than the average if, and only if they worth it. I think it doesn't... </span></span></span></b></div>
