The social custom that the customer should consume the confectioner's products in the confectionery and in accordance with it the form of sale connected with the fitting up and equipment of the shop necessary to it, i. e. that the customer should become a consuming guest on the spot, did not take on yet in Pest at the end of the 18th century. Anthony Regalgati was the confectioner in Pest who had introduced the products of the almond-cake bakers of Vienna. At the end of the 18th century he was the only confectioner in Pest who was in the possession of an oven necessary to produce such cakes. Baking almond-cakes began its way leading to the continuous merger with the patisserie by the fact that the confectioners in Pest began to prepare their products as early as the end of the 18th century, although the baking of almond-cakes had existed for decades yet as an independent industry. It ceased to exist as an independent industry at the end of the 19th century when its products entirely merged with the products of confectionery. It was Anthony Regalgati in Pest who started this process lasting nearly a century. His real significance in the confectionery of Pest is that he turned the activity of confectionery in a new direction by introducing new products and by this he opened a new era in the development of the product ional confectionery of Pest and Budapest respectively. 166
