In the Netherlands, receiving a beautiful currant bread ("krentenwegges") at birth was not a tradition only reserved for the 'ordinary' people; the royal house also regularly received delegations offering a cake after a royal birth.
In 1956, the organizers of the bakery competitions, then held in Zwolle, asked Princess Grace of Monaco to agree to receive the Dutch champion in the currant bread class when her first child, Princess Caroline, was born a few months later. This resulted in the winning baker accompanied by his wife and a delegation from the Dutch Baking World, traveling by plane to Monaco in February 1957 to meet to offer the necessary publicity a beautifully made currant road of one and a half meters in length from the Netherlands.
