Yes, I`m finally back with, of course, new pastry related topic! To start off I had a beautiful 3 day weekend with my family in Zagreb (for you who do not know, Zagreb is the capital of Croatia). The weather wasn't that nice; rainy and cloudy, but it didn't stop me from my assigned plans. The purpose of this trip was to meet many of my friends and family that I haven't seen in a while and I'm so happy I managed to meet with them all.
I was travelling with the bus which took me, well at least it should take 5 hours, but that was too good to be true. On the way to Zagreb It took us 5 and a 1/2 hrs, which was great, and on the way back almost 6 and a 1/2! Ahh. I think that was because I couldn't find my passport so the police officer was staring at me and waiting until I finally digged it somewhere from the bottom of my bag (just to mention, I have a HUGE handbag) all covered in cold sweat. I hate those things.
Now.......sweets!! This is one of the best cakes I had in a while and it's basically a cheesecake (not the NYC one though, way better) and it blew me off. What it comes to is a simple graham cookie crust baked with cream cheese filling and then topped with a sour cream (with some sugar) frosting (also baked, but very shortly, 10 mins). I have to say, I was very impressed. The first thing that crossed my mind was the London Cheesecake from Nigella Lawson that looks exactly the same. Great cake, no comments! That little cake/cafe place is called ''Torte i to'' and it is in the Zagreb's ''Kaptol Centar'', which is a shopping mal in the City's center. If you ever visit Zagreb, make sure you try a piece of this amazingness.

As you can see on this pic, this is what the weather was like.

I am off to bed now, since I had very little sleep last night and I have to be all rested and fresh tomorrow to welcome my parents! :))
