Something that can not be forgotten and, unfortunately, never returned. Remember the favorite cakes of Soviet times.
Confectioneries, cafes and restaurants are pleased with a huge assortment of sweets, but sadly one thing: a little what a treat can match the taste of ordinary Soviet cakes. Who remembers those times? You will never forget the taste of your favorite pastries!
1. A truly imperial cake
"Napoleon" was not only sold in confectioneries and was in the cafeteria menu, among other things, 22 kopecks per piece, but also prepared by the housewives in the kitchen. It was an equilateral triangle, consisting of several cakes, impregnated with delicious and very fat cream.
2. Nuts are not for squirrels
That's what really causes an attack of nostalgia, so it's cookies "nuts." They were prepared from short pastry, and filled with boiled condensed milk. Such a treat was not only bought, but prepared by our own hands.
3. Edible mushrooms in a basket
No less popular dessert consisted of several obligatory parts: a basket of shortcake, layers of jam, protein cream and jewelry. Most often, the cake was decorated with mushrooms with dough hats. Have you started licking yourself? Then we continue.
4. Crispy straws with cream
No "Tiramisu" or "Cheesecake" can compare with the taste of this dessert. At first, the children licked the cream, and then enjoyed the taste of the flaky tubule, which literally melted in the mouth. In Soviet times, confectioners clearly followed the instructions and standards, so the cream was filled with the whole tube. Modern "economists" close only two ends to them, this is a real disappointment.
5. Unforgettable taste of childhood
According to polls, the most popular cake among people of Soviet times is the eclair, inside which was a delicious creamy or custard, and it also filled all the internal cavities, while today's cakes are made half-empty. The eclairs were sold in beautiful cardboard boxes.
6. Milk from which no one refused
The recipe for this dessert was created in 1978 by the head of the confectionery shop of the restaurant "Prague". Cake "bird's milk" consists of such layers: air cake, delicate soufflé and a thin layer of chocolate glaze.
7. Air edible cloud
In any canteen of the Soviet Union, a meringue cake was invariably presented, which consisted of two halves, and fastened them with a layer of jam or cream. The airy pieces just melted in the mouth, leaving behind sweet memories.
8. Though not real, but tasty
Another cake, which is almost forgotten - "peaches". For its preparation, two cookies were taken, which were joined together by a layer of jam. After that, he was tinted with natural dyes and dumped in sugar. Who wanted fresh "peaches"?
9. Sweet potato
The taste of this cake can not be compared with anything, and it will forever remain in the memory of Soviet children. What is most interesting, it was prepared from the remnants of the cake for the cake after pruning, dry biscuits and so on. They are crushed and mixed with butter or cream. After that, the "potato", which was rolled in cocoa, was molded. It's so simple, but how delicious!
10. "Wet" biscuit cake
Many will agree that finding such a dessert in modern confectionery is unrealistic. Biscuit was wet, thanks to impregnation, and on top was a layer of oil cream with pink flowers and green leaves. The simplest masterpiece of confectionery art.
11. All ingenious is simple
It is difficult to imagine a tea-party of the times of the USSR or a mid-afternoon snack of students and a schoolboy without this delicious biscuit. It had the shape of a ring, and it was prepared from a short pastry, and topped with crushed peanuts. An important detail of this treat is the undulating form of the cookie.
12. Two halves of one whole
The cake "Bushe" is difficult to forget, because it was very delicate and delicious. For its preparation, two biscuit cakes of round shape were used, between which was a fruit filling. On top of the cake glazed marmalade of apricot, chocolate and sprinkled with nuts.
13. Sweetness and sourness together
Who did not try a delicious dessert, for the preparation of which used a lemon, giving the cake a pleasant sourness? The cream for it was stained to get a pleasant yellowish shade.
