Though we can recommend Croatia for its sun and sea, the bakeries donut stack up. Considering its proximity to Italy and Austria, Croatia should enjoy some pastry influence from its neighbors. Alas, aside from Cafe Karma's apricot croissants, my strudel-tootles around town have been fruitless. At dinner in the harbor one evening I eyed the setup of little stands on a jetty. While the others headed for gelato, I found myself in a local bake sale of just desserts. A cakewalk! The homemade wonders put the bakeries to shame. I had my fig cake (surprise!), and ate it too. Arlo got a slice of the traditional Dol walnut cake that tasted similar to a pecan pie.
Wow, you donut disappoint with your wordplay. Full marks on today's post! I'm glad to hear that the home bakers of the island are up to scratch. By the way, I'm sure a lot more people would be commenting, but it literally takes three tries to successfully post a comment. The first time you enter your name, it pretends nothing happened. The second time you enter your name, it kicks you out of the day's post completely. The third time's the charm, every time! I've learned not to write anything until the third time.
