Ruby Foodie – Dessert, Anyone?

Let’s start off with the famous “Danishes”, aka Danish pastries! So flaky, buttery, and custardy. These ones are from a famous (chain) bakery in Copenhagen, you can find them everywhere.

The one on the right is a “kanelsnegle”, a cinnamon roll!

I (along with a few others, who shall remain anonymous) once gawked, pointed, and yelled through the glass of this bakery, trying to get them to stop throwing the day-old pastries away into garbage bags as they were closing up for the night. We may have been drunk.

[I know these things are just called “Danishes” sometimes, but I find that it could be misleading to say, “Mm I’m going to eat a lot of Danishes!”. Best to add “pastries” after it. #cannibalism]

It’s a good day when there are baked goods in the house.

Cake! Need I say more?

Note the little design printed on the paper under the cake; that little pretzel crown called a “Kringle”. It is a symbol for “bakery” in Denmark! Usually gold, it’s a traditional guild sign that is hung outside bakery shops!

This is Sebastian eating melted ice-cream. He tried to hide it, but I caught him. He took a break from playing Flow on his Ipad to scarf down melted ice-cream with a fork. Back off, ladies – this fine gentleman is mine.

We were at his grandma and grandpa’s house. They spoil us with all sorts of sweets! 🙂
