📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Blejska kremna rezina is the famous cake of Bled, an Alpine lakeside town; since a hotel pastry chef created it in 1953, tens of millions are said to have been sold. Thick vanilla custard and whipped cream are layered between flaky pastry, dusted with powdered sugar, and cut into squares.

🌆 Where it's eaten: On a café terrace by Lake Bled, a tall square cream cake is served with coffee against the backdrop of the lake and the island church.
