We've always said that Ljubljana has a certain saccharine quality too it - like a syringe full of sugary icing stabbed straight into your eye. The most prominent building on the city's main square is a pink church that looks like a wedding cake for God's sake! Of course, we've always meant this in a figurative rather than a literal manner, but as they say, when in Rome....

So make sure to pack extra toothpaste, double check you've still got a couple notches to let out on your belt, and psychologically prepare your mouth to eat its way through all the sugary goodness found at our favourite cafes, cake shops, ice cream parlours, chocolatiers and more below!
