Swedish pastries are a delightful part of Swedish cuisine, known for their rich flavors and beautiful presentations. Common types include kanelbullar (cinnamon buns), semlor (cream-filled buns), and princessstårta (princess cake). These treats often feature ingredients like butter, sugar, and cardamom, making them both sweet and aromatic. Traditionally enjoyed during celebrations and holidays, Swedish pastries are often served with coffee, a practice known as fika. This cultural ritual emphasizes taking a break to enjoy good food and company. Many pastries are also decorated with icing, marzipan, or fresh fruit, adding to their visual appeal.
