Tuesday, February 23, we celebrated Fat-Tuesday here in Sweden. It is our word for Shrove Tuesday, the day preceding the first day of lent. The only reason Swedes remember Fat-Tuesday nowadays, however, is because this is the day when we eat "Semlas". A Semla is a sweet bun spiced with cardamom and filled with almond paste and whipped cream. Of course, some people start eating Semlas after Christmas and eat them well into March.
We decided to have them for Lovisas family birthday party last monday. We thought it would be easy enough for her to eat, and it was after all the day before Semla-Day!
Lovisa couldn't wait until her princess party to dress up as a princess...
Egon is enjoying his Semla!
