Monday afternoon at the sladkarnitsa was pretty quiet. That's okay with me. It gave me plenty of room to inspect the cakes in the display case before making my selection.

Now most of the time, I like to pick a cake that has already been sliced so that I can see not only what the frosting looks like but also what the actual cake looks like. This time, however, I was drawn to the honey cake. It has such a nice name and was frosted in white frosting with coconut flakes on the outer edge and a lattice network of honey and chopped walnuts on top. Only later did I notice that there were also raisins on top.  The cake was just so simple and pretty.

Once I decided which slice of cake I wanted, I was surprised to see a flyer on the table announcing the one year anniversary of my cake shop. It turns out that our<a href="http://www.karolinkabulgaria.com/2011/10/27/my-neighborhood-sladkarnitsa/" target="_blank"> neighborhood cake shop</a> has been in Mladost 1A now for a year. My-oh-my, how time flies. I can't believe it was last S<a href="http://www.karolinkabulgaria.com/2011/09/21/mladsot-1a-an-new-sweet-shop/" target="_blank">eptember that I noticed this shop</a> but I am glad that it did. <!--more-->

This week I went for the honey cake. It turned out to be a delicious autumn inspired cake. The label said that it was a honey cake but I would say it was a spice cake with rasins, walnuts and a not too sweet frosting. I guess that the cake could have honey in it as a sweetener but I didn't taste it. This doesn't really matter to me. Frankly I was just happy to not be at school frantically planning my first week of classes. And I have to say honey or not, this cake was just perfect with a cup of tea in the late afternoon.

A. had a slice of this beautiful cake. It was kind of an eclair based cake. I thought it was tasty but a little bit sweet for me. I was really happy with my cake.

The thing is, A. was really happy with his cake and ate the whole thing more or less without pause. I guess this just goes to show that the Domashnata Sladkarnitsa in Mladost 1A has a cake for everyone no matter what your preferences are.
