Dragon V's Cream Cake

We beat this dragon crossing Dragon Bridge in Ljubljana.
We beat this cream cake in Bled.

Belokranjec Pridelanov Sloviji. We translated this as Pride of Slovenia
but later realised it was Product of Slovenia. The wine almost beat us.
DRAGON V's CREAM CAKE

The city symbol of Ljubljana is the dragon. The symbol for Bled is the cream cake! Now you know what a dragon is..... you have probably met lots of them and you think you know what a cream cake is!
The Bled cream cake was only invented in 1951. It is more like a vanilla slice with a thick layer of cream on top. We read that 9 million have been eaten since then. Well now it is 9 million and 2.
This reminds us of the game, paper, scissors, rock. Now a dragon could quaff down a cream cake even faster than we did but at some point, one too many and it could become extinct. For the game we have added a third symbol..... the one of our travels in this corner of Slovenia - wine.
The dragon beats the cream cake, the cream cake kills the wine... experience says you should finish your wine before starting your cream cake..... but the wine puts out the dragon's flame.
In fact, too much of any of these is not a good thing.

I wouldn't think the cream cake would appeal to anyone over about ten years old. Like cream horns, too much of a good thing. But I like the dragon (and the wine)
