Baking our wedding cake ♥

Hello Friends! 

The most beautiful day in my life (so far) was in June, we got married with the love of my life.

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 I BAKED IT! 

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.

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. 

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)

Cream Bun - Képviselő fánk (Congressmen Bun)

Hi Dears!

Today I brought another popular Hungarian confection that we call "Képviselő fánk", which means Congressmen Bun.

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. 

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. 

Now I wonder what is the menu there, if there are any buffets today... :)
