History
[edit]Cayetano Brenna, an immigrant from Italy, arrived in Argentina in 1900. In 1904, he acquired a shop in the corner between Callao Avenue and Rivadavia Avenue in the city of Buenos Aires. After having made the deal, he opened the Confitería del Molino in 1917.
Brenna named the cake in honor of the execution of the Romanov monarchs during the 1917 Russian Revolution.[2]
