Russian Dessert Museum: Riddles of Sweets
One of the most interesting museums of Zvenigorod, namely, Russian Dessert Museum is located at Frunze Street, 23/2. 130 years ago this house belonged to a prosperous merchant. She owned a bakery, sold bread and sweets. The creators of the museum decided to implement the idea of reviving the old Russian culinary traditions and, for the purpose of organizing the exposition they studied the archives for a long time, traveled through the villages and asked the old residents about the secrets of the recipes handed down from generation to generation.
As a result of all the work, the Russian Dessert Museum was opened. Inside the mansion on the ground floor there is a cozy bazaar where one can find souvenirs — from a teaspoon to an old suitcase. But after climbing the creaky steps to the second floor, one gets into the gingerbread-and-bun world of Russian desserts. The warmth and smell of the burning Russian furnace underscores the cozy atmosphere of the museum. Silent stories of guides are mixed with the flavor of muffin. Here one can drink a cup of tea or coffee and taste desserts prepared according to the old recipes: pastille, gingerbread and jam. The museum also conducts master classes, teaching the art of making primordially Russian sweets, for example, kozuli (small baked figurines from dough) and mint sweets (soft candies).
