Someone likes it sweet: the legendary Brno confectioner Zeman is celebrating 89 years, look
The birthday party did not participate in the celebration due to health reasons. Through his grandson Tomáš Zeman, however, he sends a message to all readers of the Rovnost Diaries. “My grandfather appreciates the fact that the desserts in Brno still taste good. He is glad that the tradition is still going on and he himself hopes that there will be at least hundreds of them, “says his grandson to the editor of Deník Rovnost.
The organizer of the birthday celebration of the famous confectioner is Kristýna Kyánková, the creative manager of Zeman’s café and confectionery. “In the display case, his most famous sweets are prepared for the guests, ie baking gingerbread and coconut dragons, the famous trade fair cake and the master’s agar jelly. The opening of the art installation Cukrland by Mr. Zeman from a student of the Janáček Academy of Performing Arts in Brno, Barbora Bielková, is taking place here. It will be on view here until the end of August. Jazz musicians Marek Pospíšil and Frederik Košecký complete the pleasant festive atmosphere during the whole event, “explains the manager.

The fair cake consists of a light body and cream. “The body is poured with herbal liqueur Praděd and rum, smeared with egg cognac cream and strawberry jam. There are pieces of white chocolate on the surface of the cake, “the woman describes.
Today, they drink to the confectioner’s health with an original drink called To the Master. “It is based on Žufánek’s Kontušovka, whiskey, tonic and lime juice. During the First Republic, Kontušovka was a part of every pub and was one of the most frequently consumed alcohols ever. If this drink proves successful and is popular, we will include it in regular sales, “adds the organizer.
Petr Soška enjoys a glass of original juice on the patio terrace. “I have never drunk a drink like this before. It is an unusual combination of flavors. I found out that Kontušovka is made from vodka and you can probably smell it most in the drink, “he shares his first feelings about the enjoyment of a young man.
The master inherited his love of confectionery from his grandfather and father. He has been working as a confectioner in a café since he was fifteen. “He started here as an apprentice in 1946, then he became the head of a confectioner and the operator of a café. He is the only one in the confectionery that still produces agar jellies and almonds in sugar, the rest of the desserts are already prepared by experienced confectioners according to his recipe. He is slowly handing over the management of the company to his grandson, “informs Kyánková.

During his career, the master also became a real confectioner. “He obtained the title of Master Confectioner of the Czech Republic and a special confectionery outfit, which was awarded to him by the Czech Confectioners’ Association, where he works as a senator. Several took part in various international confectionery competitions, “adds the manager.
The functionalist café and confectionery was established in Brno in 1936. “Josef Sedláček had a six-storey building built and it was called U Sedláčka until the war. Some witnesses who come to us still remember this name and say that they go to Sedláček. Adolf Zeman has been operating it under the name Zeman’s Café and Confectionery since 1990, “concludes Kyánková.
