Change language:
This year, the chestnut and apricot chocolate dessert from Cocó7 Chocolate Shop and Workshop has been crowned Budapest’s Dessert of the Year. The winning treat will be available for the public to taste for the first time at the Édes Napok Budapest festival, starting on Friday, 11 October, in front of St. Stephen’s Basilica.
Édes Napok (Sweet Days) is one of Europe’s largest festivals dedicated to chocolate and sweets, with nearly 40 exhibitors showcasing their cakes, chocolates, and other delightful creations in front of the Basilica, according to Csaba Rebrus, president of the Hungarian Chocolate and Confectionery Association (Magyar Csokoládé és Édesség Szövetség, Csésze) and the main organiser of the event, Infostart reports.
Many desserts can be tasted this Friday
Among this year’s highlights are the debut of Balaton Fagyi (Balaton Ice Cream) and Balaton Süti (Balaton Cake), as well as the opportunity to sample Demeter Chocolate Ltd.’s creation, Dubai. Additionally, chocoMe will introduce its new brand, Atelier, which stands out for completing the entire chocolate production process in-house—from sourcing the cocoa beans to roasting and refining them on-site.
The festival not only celebrates sweets but also aims to support Hungarian small and medium-sized confectionery businesses. It serves as a platform for promoting Hungarian artisanal chocolatiers, helping them strengthen their presence in the market, explained Csaba Rebrus.
