Szeretlek Magyarország reported that from this Friday to Sunday, the public can try this special dessert during the Édes Napok event – celebrating Hungarian chocolate and cake selections of Hungary – in front of the St. Stephen’s Basilica, Budapest. This was the third time the competition that aims to find a dessert that is popular among Hungarian people and to broaden the selection of Hungarian confectioneries and stores was announced. 

Another aim is to emphasise the many specialities and the unique way Hungarian desserts are made and to increase the options to choose from at Hungarian restaurants. This year, similarly to previous years, many valuable cakes arrived to enter the competition.
