SHANGHAI, March 18, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Goose-foot chocolate and cherry cakes, Somloi Galuska trifles, Kecskemet apricot licquor pudding, yogurt bramble eclairs; the romanticism of White Valentine's day has not yet dissipated. From now on, Park Hotel under the flagship of Jin Jiang International Hotels has joined hands with the Hungarian Consulate General to hold a "Hungarian Dessert Festival."

"Hudec" Design, Hungarian Style
This dessert festival is located in the lobby bar of the Park Hotel. In order to celebrate authentic Hungarian coffee and dessert culture in this hotel designed by renowned Hungarian architect Laszlo Ede Hudec, the hotel has obtained support from the Hungarian Ministry of Foreign Economy and Affairs and the Consulate General in Shanghai. They've also invited a pastry chef, barista, and a pianist from the famous Gerbeaud Cafe in Budapest. With acclaimed Hungarian cakes, top-notch coffee, and a piano playing, diners will be able to truly experience an authentic dessert culture.
Famous Hungarian Cafe Scene Reproduced
Hungarian dessert culture has always been an important part of the country's local cuisine, with the tradition passed on for several generations. Many well-known pastry chefs and their delicious cakes enjoy an international reputation. Those most famous cakes are named after their creators, such as Henrik Kugler. Gerbeaud followed in creator Kugler's footsteps as a figure who profoundly impacted Hungarian dessert culture. After he created Gerbeaud Slices, he released various enduring signature candies, such as chocolate balls, cherry rum chocolate balls, and "langue de chat" cat tongue chocolate brands.
Gerbeaud Cafe has a long history dating back to 1858. When Henrik Kugler, from the third generation of the dessert era, was still an apprentice, he stayed in 11 major European cities, including Paris, perfecting his artistic expertise and knowledge. Kugler opened his first cafe with an elegant style, serving specialty Chinese and Russian teas and the finest ice cream found in Perth -- it quickly became a well-known gathering place.
Hungarian Dessert Festival
Time: March 15th - March 25th, every day from 13:00-20:00
Address: Shanghai Park Hotel Lobby Bar, No. 170 West Nanjing Road
