In some places in Poland the cake is known askremówka (roughly translated as "cream cake"), in others, it is callednapoleonka.[6] This Polish "war" between nameskremówka andnapoleonka has been subject to a satirical drawing by the Polish illustratorAndrzej Mleczko.[6]
The cake itself is a variation ofmille-feuille[7][8] – a French dessert made of three layers of puff pastry filled with cream or jam – also known as the Napoleon.
Sometimes kremówkas containing alcohol are sold. These became popular particularly in the aftermath of a false story that Pope John Paul II was fond of that variant.[9][10] In fact, the Pope was fond of the traditional kremówka.[11][10]
On 16 June 1999 PopeJohn Paul II mentioned that after he had completed hismatura exam, he had cream cakes with his friends in his home town ofWadowice. They wagered who could eat more. The future Pope ate eighteen cream cakes, but did not win the bet.[10]
And there was a cake shop. After high school final exam, we went for cream cakes. That we survived that all, those cream cakes after the final exam....
This was publicized by media, and "papal" cream cakes from Wadowice became popular in Poland.[9][11][10] The confectionery shop where the Pope ate cream cakes was owned by Jewish cake maker Karol Hagenhuber, who came to Poland fromVienna.[10] It was located in Wadowice Town Square.[10] Some speculated that the original papal kremówkas contained alcohol, but this was denied by Hagenhuber's son.[10] According to him his father's cakes were regular, non-alcoholic kremówkas, although made with all natural ingredients, using a traditional recipe.[10] Either way this led to renewed, and even international fame for the cake, rebranded as "papal".[9][11][10]
In 2007, to celebrate Pope John Paul's II 87th birthday, a giant kremówka was baked inRzeszów.[13]Kremówkas remembered by Pope John Paul II were filled with cream made of whipped butter mixed withcrème pâtissière made of whole eggs.[14] This is the typical filling forkarpatka.
^For the purposes of this article, it is assumed that any boiled cream made ofmilk kissel enriched with egg yolks (or whole eggs) qualifies ascrème pâtissière.
