This elegant, rose-shaped dessert is prepared with the same sweet pastry for the Polish faworki, only shaped like a rose. Due to its typical shape and the tradition of making it during the carnival season, this sweet treat was named róża karnawałowa, meaning carnival rosette.

Each carnival rosette consists of three or five pastry disks of different diameters that are stacked on top of each other, with the smallest one on top, and with small slits on the outer edges. Once fried, the dessert is usually dusted with powdered sugar and adorned with a dollop of jam or a small cherry in the center.

Light and airy, this dessert is a perfect addition to the traditional festive table on Fat Thursday, the last day of the carnival season in Poland.
