Great cakes

Café Houkutus is a hidden gem in Kuopio. You need to know its location on the second floor in one of the Carlsson department store buildings, a block or two from the central market square. Once you’ve found it, you won’t forget it — the cakes are just that delicious.

The café specialises in cakes, but they do offer also sweet and salty pastries, too. There are both conventional and untraditional cakes, such as chili pineapple cake or white chokolate and whipped cream cake. The names are funny, too, but only in Finnish.

And the best of all: the café is inexpensive. Not dirt cheap, but very rationally priced. We were positively surprised how much we got with so little euros.
