My dear sweet friend @Linnea (no pun intended!), what a well put together post! Even thought I am not a sweet lover, I’d love to taste all those dished which do not have egg in them! I had a look at the recipes and can’t even pronounce them! haha Hopefully I visit Sweden for a longer duration and we could meet up and just fika! (during my last trip, I just visited Malmö for a couple of hours and went back to Copenhagen!)
I now appreciate Fika better. Before this I only knew Fika as a nice cafe in Singapore.
Many many years ago as a broke student I was in Stockholm and I bought a pack of cinnamon rolls for lunch. It was cheap. I loved it alot. The ones in your photo look even better.
@Linnea , you had me at Princess cake. I had my first years ago when I worked at a local confectionery/bakery that made yummy, decadent desserts and treats.
What attracted to me was the pastel green shaped dome, which was marzipan. It wasn’t something I had never seen before. It was truly a taste of heaven in every bite. The cake was so light and fluffy with whipped cream and raspberry jam filling.
Thanks for sharing the story about fika and about how the princess cake came about. It makes sense to know this cake was truly created for 3 princesses because this cake always reminded me what little girls would love to eat at their imaginary tea parties. It has a child-like look to this cake.
@KarenVChin that’s a wonderful story! Working at bakery must be so much fun and tasty I totally agree, it’s a perfect cake for all small birthday princesses
