Mézes krémes

Mézes krémes means honey creamy pastry. It's from three cake layers made with honey, two flavored filling, plum jam and chocolate glaze. This traditional dessert is durable for a long time kept in the fridge and it's better to prepare them 1-2 day before serving because then it is much softer and tastier.
Be careful with the layers because they broke easily.
