Sweet Idrija lace

Sweet sugar lace, which is made according to traditional examples of Idrija lace, is one of the loveliest tourist innovations this year. The author, Katja Richer, was awarded the Snovalec national award. Her masterpieces were presented at this year’s Festival of Idrija Lace and the International Lace congress in Ljubljana, the European Green Capital 2016.

“They seem to be more fragile than the originals and sometimes people take them in their hands with even greater care,” commented Katja Richer, the creator of Sweet Idrija Lace. Lace has always been synonymous with sophisticated beauty, which is why people taste it rather hesitantly, but this is all on purpose. Katja has created an edible Slovenian lace which is made from a mixture of sugar and starch; all the other ingredients are her own secret recipe.

Katja has transferred the rich craft heritage of Idrija Lace to the culinary world. She also had the opportunity to present her Sweet Idrija Lace at the most prestigious lace festival in Slovenia and the International Lace congress, where she presented her brand LACEnia, Lacy Foods from Slovenia.
