Yeah. My wife’s family are from Slovakia. I get to eat some amazing pastries. Some are Austrian, some Hungarian, some Slavic and some are just from a small region in Slovakia. I’ve had sweets as good as, but not better.
Most of these modern concoctions are sugar, corn syrup and candied flavoring plopped in a pan coated with biscuit dough from a can.
For someone to say, “I know everything everyone on FR has ever eaten, I’ve tasted it and this is better,” while not impossible, is extraordinarily unlikely. As in “the Earth is more likely to be consumed on Tuesday by giant space termites” unlikely.
Last weekend we made everything from a Guatemalan Wedding cake to a Hummingbird cake....and of course a lot of the basics in between....Red Velvet, White, Chocolate, Carrot etc.... Not to mention all the cookies, pastries, pies and cheesecakes....All our cakes are made from scratch using fresh eggs, butter etc. No corn syrup! :^) We make cakes the way your Mom wished she could bake....
Through in a couple weddings and we had a busy time...
But there is probably NOT a single dessert we haven’t made in over 30 years....
