Today in Sweden it's Semladagen! (Semla Day) A semla (semlor is the plural) is an incredibly delicious sweet bun, flavoured with cardamom and filled with almond paste, topped with a bright white mound of whipped cream. Since I couldn't be in Sweden today, I had to bake some myself. I don't think they turned out quite as nice as a semla from the bakery, but they're still really good and I'm so happy I made them. I hate missing semladagen! My mum came over and helped me to eat one or two after supper. She thought they were so delicious that now she too wants to move to Sweden!
