To finish up your culinary experience, choose the Bled cream cake, Bled "grmada" or sweet "štruklji". You can also try the traditional "potica" served at Potičnica on Bled Island, or taste the excellent "prgini štruklji" (dumplings with pear filling), traditionally made only in Zasip near Bled.
In 2023, to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the birth of Arnold Rikli, the founder of spa tourism in Bled, Rikli's cream cake was created in a modern makeover. The cream cake is made from puff pastry, egg cream, sweet cream, apricot jam and chocolate.
