Inspiration

Cyprus tradition rediscovered

Just like the famous Retrovi fashion pieces, Exclusive Retrovi Cookie Tower Cake by Yiamy® experiments with traditional designs of Lefkaritiko lace and Fythkiotiko weaving. On a sweet side, this tradition is embodied through the famous Cyprus Glyko dessert flavours. Glyko is an authentic Cyprus dessert and its preparation requires a great deal of experience and attention. Introducing its sweetness to the classic cookie recipe awards it with an ideal texture, crispiness and taste.

Retrovi and Yiamy® are both strong advocates of Cyprus and Mediterranean lifestyle and its local flavours, crafts and traditions. Exclusive Retrovi Cookie Tower Cake by Yiamy® is handmade with love using fresh local produce of the highest quality.  

 
 

Savoire-Faire 

Kerasi glyko x Fythkiotiko pattern

Yiamy® reveals the beauty and uniqueness of Cypriot embroidery tradition using exceptional modern pastry decoration art. Cookie decorating using royal icing technique is often saved exclusively for special occasions as the skilful cookie embroidery is time consuming and requires a great deal of talent and passion. 

Exclusive Retrovi Cookie Tower Cake by Yiamy® is a fusion of traditional Kerasi Glyko and a classic butter cookie, featuring the ‘peratikoudin’ design, from the traditional Cypriot Fythkiotika pattern family.
