Today is Orthodox Christmas ☦️
I wish you all a peaceful and festive season and year ahead 🍁
The bread, called Česnica, is the crown jewel of the dinner, and it is my first! A coin is inside, and the person who finds the coin will have good fortune this year. BUT did I have my challenges making this today... Meanwhile, the cake was done in no time 😄
The cake I made for this occasion has fresh mango and strawberries on top of a vanilla whipped cream in a vanilla cake soaked in agda.
Agda is a lemon and sugar syrup used for soaking cakes and other pastries 🍋
That was a quick run-down of some Balkan ways of celebrating and baking 🥰

Merry Orthodox Christmas!
