خلفية ثقافية
The 'Slavski kolač' is a central part of the Serbian Orthodox Slava. It is a decorated bread, not a dessert, and is blessed by a priest. Pastry shops (poslastičarnice) often serve 'oriental' sweets like baklava and tulumba, which are extremely sweet (preslatki). This region has a strong Austro-Hungarian influence, meaning 'kolač' often refers to strudels (štrudla) or cream-filled pastries. There is a growing trend of 'healthy' or 'raw' cakes, which are still called 'sladak kolač' but use dates or stevia instead of sugar.
