Almond Gugelhupf Traditional dishes

During the imperial era, Vienna was completely in a spin over almonds. No wonder, since the Viennese pastry chefs were focussed on everything that made fine dishes taste even finer. And that definitely included almonds!

Festival of Almond 2014 Fairs & Festivals

Two days of tastings, workshops, exhibitions and the First Regional Competition of Cake Design with some of the best Sicilian pastry chefs. Fantastic artistic cakes, traditional flavors made with almonds, sugar and vegetable sculptures and a huge cake depicting St. Gerlando’s Cathedral, Agrigento’s patron saint. On Saturday, the Holy Archdiocese will be celebrated with a reenactment of his arrival in the city in the Middle Ages.

These special sugar roasted almonds have been made in Yeroskipos, Cyprus, since 1895, and is still made using a traditional family recipe. To this day, everyone involved in the making of these almonds are descendants of its creator. The unique rough surface, texture and sweetness are not found in any other sugared almonds.
