Sugar paste (fondant/gum paste)

A classic sponge cake can be completely unconventional: all you need to do is bake several layers instead of one and paint each of them in different colors.

Mastika cookies are a traditional Greek Christmas treat that combines delicate cookies with the subtle aroma of mastika. The origins of this recipe date back centuries when mastika was valued for its unique flavor and healing properties. This delicacy has an airy texture, slightly crumbly, with pleasant nutty notes of roasted almonds. The powdered sugar coating on the warm cookies adds tenderness to the sweetness, while mastika contributes a light woody undertone. Perfect for cozy winter evenings with a cup of hot tea or coffee. It's not just a cookie but part of a festive tradition that fills the home with the aromas of the Eastern Mediterranean.

The cake-car is a true masterpiece of pastry art, impressing not only with its taste but also with its stunning presentation.

This dessert is perfect for festive occasions as it can be decorated like a real car, astonishing guests not only with its taste but also with its visual effect. The cake-car is a symbol of creativity and craftsmanship that transforms ordinary baking into a true work of art.
