Spicces füge respektus

As we reported HERE, the judges selected the winner of the Hungary’s Cake competition in the middle of June. However, the official announcement only took place more than a month later – you can read our article on that HERE. The winner is the creation of Pál Lakatos confectioner of Lavender and Garden Confectionery (Levendula és Kert Cukrászda) in Szigetszentmiklós. The cake called Spicces füge respektus (which roughly translates to translate to ‘Respect to the Tipsy Fig’) was chosen as the best cake of the country in 2023.

According to turizmus.com, the winner, Pál Lakatos, was inspired to come up with the idea for the recipe by a fig ice cream he tasted during a holiday at Lake Balaton, which he paired with caramel and Tokaj aszú (one of the best-known naturally sweet wines in the world).
