Kransekaka

You’ll need to be prepared a day ahead to make this traditional Scandinavian delicacy but all the effort will be more than rewarded when you and your guests survey the finished product. A tower of cake with icing accompanies all sorts of celebrations in Scandinavia - from weddings to birthdays to Christmas. People go to town with the decorations, too, and you’ll see everything from flowers to flags to tinsel and Christmas crackers. What will you decorate yours with?
