We have been long time fans of the restaurant Napfényes Ízek- Sunny Tastes, they have superb vegan food and amazing vegan cakes. A few years ago they opened a vegan patisserie bit off the beaten track on the Buda side of the Árpád bridge. First they only sold entire cakes on order -which is great if you or a budaveg guest has a birthday- and delivered cakes to health food stores around town. We tried they vegan chocolate birthdaycake once and it was absolutely delicious and fooled non vegans thinking it was a “proper cream cake”!
A few month ago they opened a tiny shop right next door and now you can buy individual slices and ice cream. They are only licensed to sell cake, so it is not a real patisserie; there is no tea or coffee, and no seating area indoors, it is mainly to take away and to try the different tastes before you decide on your birthday or wedding cake.
I popped in the other day to pick up some treats for our family. There were four different ice creams and several different cakes, cream cakes and savoury ones. The lady was super friendly and we had a good chat about ingredients. All is vegan of course and they don’t use preservatives, colourants and artificial sweeteners. They use carob instead of chocolate, cane sugar instead of beet sugar, and they use spelt wheat in many cakes, they also had gluten free millet cakes. Also they prepare some cakes with xylitol which has an amazing list of benefits, I am so impressed that I decided to try using it at home too.
I got “krémes” which is a custard cake and sacher torte- a jam filled chocolate cake, both very traditional in Hungary. The ”krémes” was almost like a real one, really creamy, lovely taste, the sacher was also very delicious, though it didn’t remind us of the sacher but rather an English Christmas pudding. Yumm, just look at our daughter:
