Slapta meilė x Meduolių namai

Meduolių namai did not come about because the world was short of desserts. It came about because Barbara Radziwiłł loved gingerbread. And that, let’s face it, is a piece of history worth trying to taste.

And here they are: little gingerbread honey rings. Not just pretty. They are decorated with edible dried flowers – the very ones Barbara loved. Yes, we found the sources. Yes, we actually read them. Yes, we are serious about our biscuits.

And so Vilnius now has its own gingerbread too. And they are not just tasty. They tell a story.

Hand-baked honey butter biscuits are adorned with views of Vilnius Old Town.

The ones connected to the love of Barbara and Sigismund Augustus. Because if you’re going to bite into a biscuit, why not make it a sweet, crunchy 16th-century love legend?

The packaging? Of course it’s special. Bright, orange, almost neon—the kind that would make even the rooftops of the Old Town jealous. The illustrations were created by Julija—with all her characteristic emotional precision. And Petras brought the design to life, because someone has to hold the visual crown on top of this buttery fairy tale.

And then there are the tiny two-heart symbols. A bit of Christmas, a bit of Valentine’s. With a crown.
