Medovik is a cake that has maintained its leading position in the top of the best confectionery for more than 100 years! This cake has long been considered a royal dessert. Although, initially, it could not exist at all. The
fact is that the Empress, for whom Medovik was created, did not like honey. For this reason, the court confectioners never prepared honey desserts.
This preference of the Empress forgot to tell the new French confectioner. He prepared a cake based on honey. Surprisingly, the empress liked the cake so much that it became one of the key dishes of the court table.
