was effectively.

You can hardly hold out three months considering how delicious!

In the shops in large hyper markets these cakes cost 20 lev for some reason. Perhaps mainly because of the packaging. I eat this cake I loved it, although there are unconventional taste for Bulgarians. I wonder if you do it this recipe taste will approach you to store-bought cake imported.

We were doing stollen home before last Christmas and was very successful. In my opinion - better than those in stores, because he can do it on your own taste - with more of your favorite fruits or nuts. It is very aromatic and pleasant - especially in combination with Glyog :)
ivka, with little desire to do better than Commercial Premium, 100%!

I do not know if it will ever dare to make an attempt to do it. Otherwise I like it and regularly buy as deliver it in the shops.

if I can use cherries instead of sweet jelly or cocktail cherries will have the same taste? Otherwise I loved it and want to try for a holiday.

It is all very nice, but as I started to collect some products do not have them :( and again to cram in one place, and I had just gathered the courage to do it
