Well, it's been a few months so Sweden was due for another pastry-themed holiday. Enter the
kanelbulle, the cinnamon roll. I've been trying to come up with some American food that has the same cultural significance as the kanelbulle but I got bupkis. This is a food item that Swedes eat ALL THE TIME. Seriously, all the time. So imagine my surprise when our office received a fax from a local bakery announcing kanelbulle day since, you know,
every day is kanelbulle day. To me this felt a little like the greeting card and candy people's marketing creation
Sweetest Day, just a cooperative ploy by a particular industry to sell more product. I guess they didn't count on Anna, our colleague in the finance department, making them from scratch for the whole office instead of dumping her hard-earned kronor into the pastry sector.
