Birthday celebration


I felt very honored to make this birthday cake for a 90 years young man.
Aranygaluska is the name, it's a traditional Hungarian cake.
Norman, the birthday boy, asked me if I could recreate a cake from his childhood that his Hungarian grand mother used to make, so I did some research and called a good friend who happens to be half American and half Hungarian, I got a recipe and after a couple of trials was ready to serve it and the verdict was: just like in Norman's memory. 
I was so happy to have "nailed it"!
