The pastry chef created hockey cakes for the championship. He offers them in a cafe in the clouds

Since Tuesday, their hockey desserts have been served at the Bolt Café, i.e. the Ostrava café in the clouds. She takes care of her customers in the heritage-protected Lower Vítkovice area, on top of the former blast furnace that gave birth to the famous Bolt Tower.

There will also be a fan zone in Dolní Vítkovice during the hockey championship.

“Dolní Vítkovice itself came up with the idea of ​​creating special desserts for the hockey world championship. We have been working together for a few years now and deliver our cakes and desserts for various occasions to the Bolt Tower cafe,” the Ostrava confectioner told Novinka.

She added that they put their heads together in the company and came up with their own Ostrava hockey logo for desserts. “Then we came up with cakes in the shape of a hockey puck with a logo and also a special hockey cake,” the woman pointed out.

Hockey pucks were made in the Ostrava confectionary workshop from vanilla and chocolate sponge cake, which is drizzled with rum. “The sponge cake is also spread with currant jam and inside each puck is an unbaked chocolate filling. Each puck is lightly spread with our homemade vanilla buttercream. This is so that it can be covered with real almond marzipan. At the top is the hockey logo, which is also edible, also made of marzipan,” the confectioner continued.

In addition to the puck-shaped desserts, people can now have a hockey cake at Bolt Café. “It’s a whipped cream cake with fruit. It also has our hockey logo on it. The cake is also interesting because when you put it on a plate, it looks like a zebra, i.e. it’s striped,” explained Zuzana Stojanovská Řehová, who inherited her love of pastry from her mother.

“Since I was a teenager, I worked with my mother in a pastry shop. She was also a trained confectioner. I trained in Šilheřovice in the Opava region. My mother actually founded our company in 1990, Cukrářství Řehová, in my hometown in Hošťálkovice, Ostrava,” recalled the candy maker.

In 1997, the company moved to a newly purchased house in Fifejdy, Ostrava, where they continue to this day. “Only in 2013, after a major reconstruction of the building, we expanded to include a culinary section with a restaurant where my husband, who is a professional chef, reigns supreme. And so together we support each other not only in sweet, but also in salty. We also offer specialties of Macedonian cuisine, because my husband was born in Macedonia,” she explained.

Together, they all love to make wedding cakes. Their specialty is cakes that hang in the air. “They are called cakes in reverse. We really like to make them the most, because we can really go crazy with their production,” summed up the confectioner from Ostrava.
