Blejska kremsnita
The Park Restaurant and Café is situated on the shore of Lake Bled and is the birthplace of this symbol of Bled cuisine. It is where I had many a breakfast with a large Americano – thankfully we only stayed in Bled for a week and we were able to walk off some of the calories by a circuit around the lovely lake 😉
Seven, the fairytale number, is the secret behind this legendary dessert. To make the original Bled cream cake, puff pastry is folded seven times and left to rest overnight so it is even lighter when baked in the morning. A light egg custard is boiled for precisely seven minutes before stiffly beaten egg whites are added to it and the mixture is poured over the first layer of delicate puff pastry. The delicious custard cream is topped with a layer of whipped cream and covered with a second layer of puff pastry, which is then dusted with vanilla sugar. The original Bled cream cakes are still made strictly to the recipe perfected by the pastry chef in the 1940s.

This cake looks heavenly! And Lake Bled is gorgeous!
Yes and Yes!! An unexpected trip and so glad I went – didn’t know a lot about the place beforehand, but I recommend it. And you can walk around the lake in a couple of hours or so which is great.
I love a lake that is manageable to walk around! Sounds perfectly lovely! 🙂
It is a delight.
