Esterhazy cake for November orders at MuffinTaffin

November in Budva brings cooler evenings, and richer cakes suit the table better than light summer fruit. At MuffinTaffin we sell Esterhazy cake for those orders, next to the other cakes guests choose in Montenegro.

The dessert took shape in 19th-century Hungary and carries the name of the Esterházy family. Pastry shops built it from thin almond or hazelnut meringue and buttercream, then marked the pale top with a chocolate lattice.

How MuffinTaffin finishes the cake

We dry the nut layers until the edge is crisp and the center still tender, then spread buttercream between them. A white glaze and a fine chocolate web go on after the cake has settled, so the pattern stays clear when we cut it.

Whole cakes leave for family orders, and slices stay on the counter for anyone who wants a smaller piece the same day. That is how sales of this cake run through November in Budva.

If you want Esterhazy among your cakes this month, leave the request with MuffinTaffin before the weekend rush.
