Taste the sweetest secret of Balaton! 🍪

The indispensable part of summers on the shores of Lake Balaton is fresh, locally made sweets, whether it's a refreshing pastry on the terrace or a special creation by the lake. In 2026, there will again be an opportunity for the region's confectioneries, restaurants and hotels to show what flavors can best capture the atmosphere of Balaton.

VisitBalaton365 Nkft. and the Magyar Turisztikai Szövetség Alapítvány are once again announcing the Balaton Sütije competition. Applications are open until September 18 from businesses operating in the Balaton region that wish to participate with their own unique recipe. The goal this time is also to create a sweet that reflects the flavors, ingredients and traditions of the area around the lake.

The competition not only encourages gastronomic creativity but also strengthens the tourist appeal of Balaton. The winning pastry may appear in the region's restaurants and confectioneries in the next season, providing a tangible experience for visitors as well. This is an excellent opportunity for Balaton hospitality professionals to innovate with local ingredients, such as flavorful fruits or traditional recipes.

The application deadline is approaching, so it is worth preparing the recipe and entry materials in time. Balaton Sütije is not just a competition but also the building of the region's gastronomic identity 🍰🌊.
