Pipacs!

So moist, so good! 

 

"Pipacs", is Hungarian for "Poppy"!   Pronounced, "pea-pawtch", these ever-so-moist bars are flourless and made from poppy seeds.  Lightly sweetened, we add cranberries to give a balance of sharpness to the recipe. 

Me, amoungst the poppies during my first trip to Hungary.  I simply loved them - and you will too!!!

Karpatia!

Mountains of Love!

 

The Karpatia is named after the Carpathian mountain range which stretches from Central-to-Eastern Europe!  Made from pound cake, lightly sweetened whipped creme, and topped with a delicious coating of the finest Belgian chocolate.  If you put these all together, they will resemble the Carpathian range!  We also give a nod to our favorite restaurant in Budapest - The Karpatia!  You simply must try both, this yummy dessert and our favorite place to dine if you happen to travel to Hungary!

Kinder Pie

 

Kinder Pie is sometimes commonly known as a "Peanut Butter & Jelly Pie".  Our version creates perfect harmony between the ingredients; creamy peanut butter, creamy creamy cream cheese, and some whipping cream and confectioner's sugar to balance.  The graham cracker crust is coated generously with a fruit preserve.  We like either strawberry or blackberry to add some contrast.  Available for your afternoon tea, your guests will be amazed!

Kremes!

 

We have waited soooooo long to introduce these wonderful delights to you!   Way tooooooo long!   We offer you thick squares of mouth-watering custard, sandwiched between crisp layers of puff pastry.  Pronounced "Cray - mesh" in Hungarian, they are found in the pastry case of almost every Austro-Hungarian coffeehouse.  
 

   In 1999, when Pope John Paull II made a visit to his hometown of Wadowice, Poland, he mentioned casually that he was very fond of the cream cake or Kremowka.  He said he and his friends in school used to scrape their funds together to buy from one of the bakers in the town's market square.  The next day, "Kremowka" or "Kremowka Papieska", the "Papal Cream Cake" was the order of the day all over Poland!    One of our friends from Poland told us that, even today, you will go to a cafe and they will have a sign for this pastry with includes the disclaimer "the way the Pope likes it!".  Heavenly! 

When Andi was a little girl, she and her brothers and sister would gleefully tell Mama, "Kremes!" when she would ask which pastry they wanted from her visit to the cukrazda!  You will shout for joy too!  (only in English as they spoke Hungarian!) 

We are so pleased to finally come to the point in our cafe where we can offer these exquisite, lightly-sweetened custard squares to you - all the way from the 18th district in Budapest, Wadowice, Poland, and all over central Europe! 

  Please call ahead to order and check availability.

Chestnut Puree

 

The Hungarians know this as "Gesztenye Pure".  Chestnut Puree is something out of this world!  At least out of the USA.  Europeans know how to enjoy a desert when they order this in New York Cafe in Budapest, or The Demel in Vienna.  This is a lightly sweetened chestnut puree, coupled with a lightly sweetened whipped cream.  Together, they create a simple, yet very refreshing taste experience!  Why not find out for yourself why so many millions enjoy this desert in Europe?  You can too, just come to Caffe Amadeus! 
 

  Please call ahead to order and check availability.

Strudel Puffs!

 

After you have enjoyed a Strudel Puff at Caffe Amadeus, you will be tempted to sing our Strudel Puff song...  "Strudel Puff, Strudel Puff, Tootie-fruity, Strudel Puff"!  (Click the link!).   This is a slight, yet yummy variation on the recipe, using puff pastry as opposed to the more traditional strudel dough, giving the pastry a lighter - melt in your mouth - feel!  We fill the Strudel Puff with the fruit of the day, so you may experience something different each time you drop in.  Pictured above is the Cherry Almond!
