What is a Napoleon cake?

Napoleon is a cake of many thin, flaky pastry layers with cream. It is the flaky cousin of honey cake.

Layered cakes like this tend to taste even better the next day, as the cream softens the layers.

What is a Spartak cake?

Spartak is a much-loved Eastern European cake with cocoa and honey layers. Blushy Bakery also makes a Chocolate Spartak, which is richer, and a White Spartak, a lighter, white take on the classic.

If you like chocolate but not heavy sweetness, Spartak is a good one to ask about.
