"For the past four years, 'Women's Whims' has been the sales leader of 'Lutskkondyter' products," says Viktor Martsenyuk. – "'Women's Whims' has long become the 'calling card' of Lutsk and Volyn. Every guest of Kyiv tries to bring back a 'Kyiv Cake,' and guests of Lutsk bring back 'Women's Whims.'"
As the chief technologist of the company "Lutskkondyter," Lidiya Tanze, recounted, the history of creating this "calling card" is quite interesting. "'Women's Whims' is the work of the team, although I gave the cake its life," says Lidiya Ivanivna. – "Once our master brought a cake to her birthday, we tried it and the team liked it very much. I developed the industrial recipe for the cake. I remember we were in a great hurry to release 'Women's Whims' by March 8th. And to make it in time, I worked at home too. At that time the children were doing renovations in the apartment, and my grandson was sitting in my arms and 'helping.'"
The cake "Women's Whims" consists of four sponge layers with various additions: poppy seeds, raisins, nuts, and cocoa. These layers are joined by a special cream made from condensed browned milk, cognac, and butter. The cake is decorated with cream and chocolate. The sides are covered with crumbs from semi-finished products. The cake's shape is round, oval, or square. The short shelf life (4 days) indicates that only natural ingredients are used in the preparation of this cake, as with all products of the company "Lutskkondyter."
"The name 'Women's Whims' speaks for itself, because this cake satisfies the taste of the most demanding woman, which was proven by the victory in the competition '100 Best Products of Ukraine,'" says Viktor Martsenyuk.
The final of the All-Ukrainian competition of product quality (goods, works, services) "100 Best Products of Ukraine" took place in Kyiv on March 25-26.
