The Original Bled cream cake

70 years of sweet pleasures with the one and only – »kremšnita«!

The Original Bled cream cake turns an impressive 70 years old this year. How many have been made at the Park Café in the last 70 years? Believe it or not, the renovated café with the most beautiful view of Lake Bled served almost 16 millions cream cakes until today! A visit to Bled just wouldn’t be right if you didn’t treat yourself to an Original Bled cream cake. Tasting it is an unforgettable experience. Start by piercing the crispy crust with your fork and then dig into all four layers at once. That divine taste! A crispy crust with a combination of heavenly fluffy custard and cream. Add to that the most beautiful view of Bled’s most celebrated sights – the lake, island, and castle – and there can be no greater pleasure!

Interesting facts about the Original Bled cream cake

The original Bled cream slice is recognised as a dish with a designation of origin. Since the very first cream cake in 1953, almost 16 million Original Bled cream cakes have been made to this day, using over 136 tons of flour, 8,7 million eggs and 1,600,000 litres of milk. If the 16 million cream cakes were stacked in a row, they would reach 1,085 km or all the way from Bled to Pompei. If we were to stack them on top of one another around Lake Bled, they would make a wall 8,25 m high.

A visit to Bled just wouldn’t be right if you didn’t treat yourself to the Original Bled cream cake. We make them in the Hotel Park pastry kitchen, but you can try it in all the Sava Hoteli Bled bars, cafes, restaurants and hotels. We stick closely to the original 1953 recipe. We use ingredients: eggs, flour, cream, sugar and butter. The Original Bled cream cake contains no colourants, preservatives or other additives, which is why we make them fresh every day. Cream cakes are made several times a day, while on weekends (the busiest time for Bled in terms of visitor numbers), we prepare them every hour so that they are truly fresh at all times. Most original Bled cream cakes are sold at their home, the Park Café on the Bled promenade!
