Kanelbullens dag (Cinnamon Bun Day), 4 October 2012

Cinnamon buns are an almost daily feature of Swedish life, but they still have a special day on 4 October. The tradition of celebrating Cinnamon Bun Day is a rather new tradition - established in 1999 when the staff at Sweden's Hembakningsrådet (the Home Baking Council) were looking for a way to celebrate their 40th anniversary.

Seven kind of cookies

 

 

Everyone in Sweden knows about - Sju sorters kakor (Seven kinds of cookies)
The tradition has been known since the 19th century. In 1720, Stockholm already had 15 so-called “kaffehus” (cafés), where coffee was served with buns in a French manner. From time to time drinking coffee was prohibited in Sweden, and wheat wasn’t much harvested until the 19th century. When coffee again became legal to drink in 1822, it also became a custom to serve “småkakor” (little cookies), but the ingredients in those were usually too expensive for most people. During the 19th century more and more recipes for cookies came out and a certain competitiveness was developed between hostesses, which in turn lead to the seven kinds of cookies at each visit.
