We take our bakeries are very serious up here, a lot of bakeries have their own “secret recipes” and ways of baking everything as well. Also the amount of variety is crazy. (Also Sweden and Denmark are very close in the pastry department, I feel like it comes down to store to store, both countries elite)
I can tell, I was genuinely surprised how fresh it tasted, it was in the fridge for two days. But it tasted like it was freshly baked. So good! Honestly if you come to the UK don't ever have a cinnamon roll it tastes like a bagel LOL!
@@dwaynesview I haven't tried many pastries in the UK, despite visiting 6-7 times between ca 1972 and 1989. I did try a chocolate cake back in the 1980s London though. It was actually pretty bad, I'm sorry to say. (Despite looking good.) It had that type of vax style fat that wont disolve in you mouth. But I'm sure I was unlucky with that particular place!
I’ve lived in the UK for over 10 years. Pastries and cakes are not your greatest talent, I have to say. However, some desserts/puddings can be really nice. And OF COURSE afternoon tea!! Freshly baked scones with clotted cream and strawberry jam - yum! And good quality short bread, mince pies and christmas pudding are all quite nice too.
As a Swede I would say that it would depend on what you prefer. Like, I absolutely love our Swedish cinnamon buns (which are not flaky because we only use wheat dough, but with cardamom in it). But I also love the Danish version, which is flaky because it has the pastry dough in it in addition to the ordinary wheat dough. But yeah, which ones better is very subjective and would depend on if you prefer stuff that's like pastries or not. Bottom line though, both are great and delicious in their own right 😉
At 20:17: That is a "jordbærtærte", you'll love it. It's a strawberry tart: a mazarin tart (contains marzipan), the top dipped in chocolate to keep the tart dry from a sweet custard, all topped off with fresh strawberries and some almond splinters - a divine treat
at 08:33 you can se an old fashion of a "spandauer" the one with yellow cream it also exist with red jam. a old rough nickname (rarely used) for the yellow one was "the bakers infected eye" and the one with jam was "the bakers bleeding eye" (the newer version is more round than these.
It looks like the cinnamon but you had is more like the pastry you use for ”Danish pastry” (what we, in Sweden, call Wienerbröd ie ”bread from Vienna”. It’s a mixture of puff pastry and wheat dough, I think. We, normally, use only wheat dough for our Swedish cinnamon buns. So ours are not ”flaky”. But we have delicuous cinnamon buns and (flaky) Wienerbröd too.
To me it felt like Dwayne is trying to restart the nordic wars with this question of which does it best, Sweden or Denmark. But honestly, both are good at what they do if you go to a bakery or cafe that makes their own pastries, buns and rolls.
There are some very nice bakeries in London but they can’t compete with the Danish or Swedish bake goods. It’s more sweet in London and you have a very different taste to cakes and baked goods. I rarely go and eat baked goods as it’s hard to stop but I’m in serious trouble at this point of time as the Fadtelavnsbolle is sold now and the next month and ohhh my god they are amazing 😍😍😍😍😍😍
We have similar cinnamon bun here in Finland: korvapuusti (/kanelipulla, like swedish kanelbulle). The most famous finnish version is "korvapuusti". Usually, you can get it fresh and delicious from cafés. The pastries and cakes in the video also reminded me a lot of the pastries in Finnish cafés.
We always eat our cakes freshly baked the same day, and we have a lot of unique cakes that were invented here. The pastry shop you called fancy is Conditori La Glace, Skoubogade 3, 1158 Copenhagen, established in 1870. You should try their sportskage which has been a favorite with many since November 18, 1891.We are hedonists here in Denmark. :)
@@cl154-o3o I love La Glace, I find the place cozy, relaxed and with good cakes, we each have our own taste.The prices are the same as the rest of the pastry shops in the city center. Copenhagener here.
this reminds me of my youth when getting home from a night out in town partying and catching the local bakery making fresh pastries for the morning crowd... nothing like a warm kanel snegl straight from the cooling racks after a night of semi heavy drinking and dancing....
Ooh yes. I did the same. My local bakery, was always just done with Tebirkes when I came around. The shop wasn't open yet, but I knocked on the backdoor, and they were always willing to sell a few rolls. It was the best at 5 am, after a long night of dancing and drinking. I don't think they do that any more though.
at 6:24 in the video you are watching (20:30 your timestamp) is a jordbærtærte and very very delicious. If you like custard you should try a cremesnegl basicly a cinnamonbun with custard in the center. Was in London, start december 2024, and saw multiple danish bakeries named Ole and Steen, didn't try anything from them but they pastry did look like here in Denmark. London is to crowded for my taste, but I do like you pub tradition and LOVE your sheppards and cottage pies.
In Sweden, many larger grocery stores have an in-house bakery that offers freshly baked bread in several varieties as well as freshly baked cinnamon rolls, Danish pastries and other "fika delicacies" 😋😜
Grocery stores and gas stations here in Sweden have the type of pastries you talked about, pre-made and they just finish the baking by putting it in their oven.
In my opinion it's more about different traditions than quality in the Nordics. And while I love the layered Danish pastry (wienese bread) I'm thrilled that it's possible to buy semlor (Swedish) around lent here in Denmark, as we definitely haven't got enough baked goods with cardamom.
Swedish wienerbröd also use layered smördeg and so is different from ordinary bullar. Do you make bullar/buns with the same technique as you make wienerbröd? The thing he had here looks or was described as a mix.
@@herrbonk3635 Some can be made with both kinds. Like our simlor (fastelavnsboller) can be made with wienerbrøds dough, and what we call old fashioned fastelavnsboller are made with a more ordinary dough. What kind you can buy depends to a certain degree on where in the country you are. On Zealand you'll find more made as wienerbrød and on Funen it's more like buns as far as fastelavnsboller are concerned. I don't know about Jutland.
The secret to most nordic pastries/baked goods are a generous helping of real butter, and cardamom - and also not overworking the dough. You should try to make some kanelsnegle (or the swedish counterpart kanelbulle) from scratch, it actually is surprisingly forgiving as long as you don't try to take shortcuts (and err on the side of not adding to much flour) - and yes, it does handle a freeze/thaw cycle quite well (thaw in the fridge for best results, but oven works as well). Just make sure you get a nordic recipe and not a US/UK adapted one (google translate does a good enough job, just know that "dl" is "decilitre" (tenth of a litre, so 1dl = 0.1L)).
@@dwaynesview It is fairly easy to do by hand (but is about 5-15min of kneading) so no fancy machine is needed (it is among the first things we learn to bake with yeasted doughs up here)
@@mikaelowe8430 Well, it always depends on the specific konditori or bageri, rather than on the country. (I've tasted lovely wienerbröd and bullar in Köpenhamn, but also crap that's dry, or just sugar.)
I am from Helsingborg, Skåne, and have also worked in Denmark for more than 10 years (not anymore though). Smörrebröd are delicious (small sandwiches with different toppings). Kanelbulle in Sweden is more doughy. In Denmark it’s much sweeter with a more crispy dough (in my opinion). It depends what you like the most. I prefer when it’s not that sugary. Pastries with whipped cream (princess, Budapest etc) are more common in Sweden I think.
13:33 It says "Nøddebo Præstetærte". It's a pun on "Nøddebo Præstegaard", a well-known play in Denmark. The play is about three student brothers visiting a priest at Christmas, with the express intent of courting his two daughters. Shenanigans ensues. The pastry is basically a tart with nuts. [Edited to reflect that there were only two daughters, as per @klausolekristiansen2960s comment]
When in Sweden you should definitely also try (besides from Cinnamon bun and Cardamom bun) the Oscar II:s cake. Soo yummy! Also Budapest pastry, Napoleon pastry and Princess cake! 🤤
In every Danish supermarket, you can buy both the "old" and fairly cheap fresh baked stuff, not master bakery stuff, but still baked and delivered like 6 in the morning, and sold at half price around 12 hour later, so that there is no one-day old left for the next day.
He should have bought you a Fastelavnsbolle. It's season for them at the moment. 🤤 My local baker will have them on sale tomorrow, and I already know I'm getting more than I should, but they're just SO good. (I only go for the old-fashion kind with custard inside. I don't care for all the modern variations.)
My favorite Danish pastery is "frøsnapper" - I hope I got the spell right. Denmark have a lot of deliciuos pastery (Wiener bread are better than ours) and Sweden has a s well. Depends some what you like.
@14:40 The main reasons why McDonald's is cheaper in Denmark than in the UK are lower food supply costs, stable labor agreements, lower import dependency, and different competitive landscapes. In contrast, the UK faces higher supply chain costs, Brexit-related complications, and higher fast-food demand, which keep McDonald's prices elevated.
We also have premade baked goods though thats usually in grocery and convenience stores, bakers obviously have to do better they cant survive on any other goods
I got to say, that is the best airfryer, you can do two different things in it on the same time, i got one and i Don't understand why more people by them here in Sweden.
And the fact that it's 2 days old and fresh from the fryer might have distilled the taste a little bit. If you ever visit Denmark, you need to have one fresh, you'll never want any other pasteries ever again.
Mac D. is first and foremost a pragmatic business. They will adapt to whatever their costumer base is willing to put up with in each country. They prizes only reflect the limit of how much they can take for a Big Mac before people choose to go somewhere else.
I would say its about equal and more about what bakery you go to then if its Swedish or Danish. But if you buy "fresh" from a supermarket they are often the premade ones still good though. and if i reheat them i would say 1m in the microwave is the way to go and eat immediately.
As stereotypes go, Danes are a bit more relaxed, while Swedes are very orderly. Denmark probably have more kinds of pasteries than Sweden because they just throw stuff together and make something new (accidentally), while in Sweden making pasteries is a more measured thing with a set goal (orderly). Swede myself, so if any Dane thinks I'm wrong feel free to call me names :D
You probably have cafe shops, or bakeries. Where you can buy fresh buns etc. Not much beats a freshly baked cinnamon bun or two and a glass of cold milk.
The thing many of us Danes find really strange tasting, is the Swedish bread. Almost all bread in Sweden is made with sugar, so it is sweet. Personally I don’t like it, especially when you want to eat charcuterie on top… The small cake with the beautiful strawberries on top is just a standard danish strawberry cake…you can get these everywhere in more sizes…
I'm surprised that after fridge and air fryer and 2 days it's still so good. I'm from Denmark but don't live there anymore, and Danish cake/pastries are the food from there I miss the most. (I don't eat meat and for cooked food I'm more into Mediterranean and East Asian food, so a lot Danish food where I know it is good quality and probably tastes good to most people, it's just not for me.) Always when I'm back there I want to eat so much cake.
I keep my cinnamon rolls in the freezer and when I want one I just put it in the oven with a little dollop of real butter on it for 5-10 minutes or until the butter melted. So air fryer will work just fine I guess
Yes, the airfryer usually works wonders for day or two old pastries, For 5 years I've been using it regularly several times a week when I always happen to buy a treat that I don't have time to eat that day. 😅
GJ Denmark beeing the first and weakest boss of the north.. with love from sweden! ;) ohh yea ; the bakers i know goes to work at 2-3 at night just to make the dough.
McD being cheaper in CPH seems weird? I don't go there often, and haven't been for a while, but as far as I recall, a medium BicMac menu is around 90 kr/12€/10£.
@herrbonk3635 Denmark, Sweden both bake very good pastrys, but I can not travel to Denmark every time I want a wienersemla. And we all have different taste and our favoritkondis.
2 days old kanelsnegl? i never had one that was more than 12 hours old... i also worked in a bakery before, eating them just as they come out the oven... it dosen't get better than that!
Haha! They definitely can according to my brother lol! It was honestly the best Cinnamon Roll I've ever had! So buttery! I feel like I've been lied to my whole life. What they sell here doesn't taste like that.
It is like 10 pounds to fly to copenhagen. Get there already and feast for a weekend. They are better bakers than the rest of us nordics. The food is more rustic in Sweden though. Do not eat in Norway. They eat fishbones in jelly and have not yet discovered salt.
Pretty sure that you'll get fresh if you go to a bakery in the UK too. Too many buy the store bought stuff. Your quote about London not being the real england applies to Stockholm and all other capitals too.
Oh no... you don't reheat it like that. We usually eat them as they are - meaning at room temperature. In Danish we call them "kanelsnegl" which means "cinnamon snail". There are variations from different regions. So our kanelsnegl is slightly different from the Swedish kanelbulle.
The thing many of us Danes find really strange tasting, is the Swedish bread. Almost all bread in Sweden is made with sugar, so it is sweet. Personally I don’t like it, especially when you want to eat charcuterie on top…
Sweden and Denmark's pastries are top tier... But most pastries and the school of desserts and bakery actually originated from Portugal and spread throughout Europe and beyond from there, so I think it is unfair to not include the Portuguese in this instance, a culture within Europe that not many know a lot about. :)
We should probably send drone containers with pastry aid from Denmark to you guys in the UK, just as you sent containers with weapons, explosives and radio receivers / transmiitters to the resistance in Denmark during WW2 :-)
Danes are quiet, reserved but most often polite... thats until you either behave very inappropriate, become friends with them or they're drunk... at that point they tell the truth with no filter... You'll easily hear even 2nd graders using the f-word amongst each other, but when they're at the grocery store talking to the grocer they'll be the cutest and most polite kids you ever saw 😄 that's just Denmark, and I don't want that to change. Being polite and humble in a public setting is nice, but not having "forbidden words" is also nice... then you're not in doubt what people mean. Straight talk.
I think Denmark and Sweden got exemptions from the EU regarding how much cinnamon was allowed in one serving, because it could be considered a cultural dish... correct me if I'm wrong.
My own policy, regarding my kids, is that sweet pastries are okay as long as they eat a more varied lunch and dinner. Then a little sugar shock once in a while is okay. Personally I'm not that much into the sweet stuff, certainly if it doesn't come with a cup of coffee.
Cheaper than where you are from? Sweden's prices are going to look free at that point then. Most MC meals here are between 6-11 dollars. Also, coming from a Swede, isn't fresh baked standard? Even our supermarkets have their pastries baked fresh every day, in the store.
not seeing an oven is not really a red flag, they're usually not in view of the customers, the ovens are in the back in its own room where they do the actual baking.
Hahahaha :D you live in "REAL" England :D so funny, Throughout your video, i was thinking the very same thing. I'm From Jylland, and Copenhagen is like London for me. I live in in "REAL" Denmark. Copenhagen is different from the rest of Denmark. It's hard to compare the two, I often don't recognize, what people say in YT videos about Denmark, from their experiences in Copenhagen. But about Bakeries... Back in the day, most small towns would all have their own little bakeries, and their own little grocery shops. But now most of them have closed down, There are still a lot left, but they are all struggling daily, because of supermarket cheap fresh bake-off goods. And the shops have been replaced by supermarket chains. So little by little, all the baked goods become uniform and rather boring, but the problem is, bakeries cannot compete, with the cheapness of bake-off goods, they are simply to cheap, and still rather fresh, so many people opt for buying them, when they are already at the supermarket anyway. We are not fancy like Copenhagen. But we still have our own little bakery, and they seem to be doing alright for now. They have all the traditional things, that Danes like to buy, so we go as often as our wallets allow. We like to buy things locally. And i think most REAL Danes, do the same . You have a good little Channel thank you for your hard work, i hope you can come to Denmark one day and taste for your self, the fresh baked goods. But don't limit your self, to the option of Copenhagen, ( same goes, for equally lovely Sweden and Norway ) Have a good one, Love from Ida in Jylland.
9:35 Those look like typical hipster places though, not normal bakeries. (I live in Stockholm-Uppsala and tend to avoid such places; prefer a traditional konditori.)
@ I belive I actually gave you a list of nice konditorier in Stockholm "under" another video of yours (where another guy also added his favourites). I could be wrong though, but I think it was your video :)
As a swede I would have to concede due to Danish smörrebröd. They are exceptionell. More of a lunch perhaps but still.
You should check out the smörrebröd place in the Malmö train terminal. It's quite okay

In Finland and Sweden, there are always similar-looking pastries. Of course, there are small differences. Good buns are of course baked with butter.
In my opinion it's more about different traditions than quality in the Nordics. And while I love the layered Danish pastry (wienese bread) I'm thrilled that it's possible to buy semlor (Swedish) around lent here in Denmark, as we definitely haven't got enough baked goods with cardamom.
Swedish wienerbröd also use layered smördeg and so is different from ordinary bullar. Do you make bullar/buns with the same technique as you make wienerbröd? The thing he had here looks or was described as a mix.
@@herrbonk3635 Some can be made with both kinds. Like our simlor (fastelavnsboller) can be made with wienerbrøds dough, and what we call old fashioned fastelavnsboller are made with a more ordinary dough. What kind you can buy depends to a certain degree on where in the country you are. On Zealand you'll find more made as wienerbrød and on Funen it's more like buns as far as fastelavnsboller are concerned. I don't know about Jutland.
The secret to most nordic pastries/baked goods are a generous helping of real butter, and cardamom - and also not overworking the dough.
You should try to make some kanelsnegle (or the swedish counterpart kanelbulle) from scratch, it actually is surprisingly forgiving as long as you don't try to take shortcuts (and err on the side of not adding to much flour) - and yes, it does handle a freeze/thaw cycle quite well (thaw in the fridge for best results, but oven works as well).
Just make sure you get a nordic recipe and not a US/UK adapted one (google translate does a good enough job, just know that "dl" is "decilitre" (tenth of a litre, so 1dl = 0.1L)).
I actually could try for a video, I do have an oven. Will just need to get the baking tray etc

I would say its about equal and more about what bakery you go to then if its Swedish or Danish. But if you buy "fresh" from a supermarket they are often the premade ones still good though. and if i reheat them i would say 1m in the microwave is the way to go and eat immediately.
As stereotypes go, Danes are a bit more relaxed, while Swedes are very orderly.
Denmark probably have more kinds of pasteries than Sweden because they just throw stuff together and make something new (accidentally), while in Sweden making pasteries is a more measured thing with a set goal (orderly).
Swede myself, so if any Dane thinks I'm wrong feel free to call me names :D
You probably have cafe shops, or bakeries. Where you can buy fresh buns etc. Not much beats a freshly baked cinnamon bun or two and a glass of cold milk.
The thing many of us Danes find really strange tasting, is the Swedish bread. Almost all bread in Sweden is made with sugar, so it is sweet. Personally I don’t like it, especially when you want to eat charcuterie on top… The small cake with the beautiful strawberries on top is just a standard danish strawberry cake…you can get these everywhere in more sizes…
Don't know if you did it on purpose or not, but when you took your first bite, you did the Mark Wiens face 🤣
I'm surprised that after fridge and air fryer and 2 days it's still so good. I'm from Denmark but don't live there anymore, and Danish cake/pastries are the food from there I miss the most. (I don't eat meat and for cooked food I'm more into Mediterranean and East Asian food, so a lot Danish food where I know it is good quality and probably tastes good to most people, it's just not for me.) Always when I'm back there I want to eat so much cake.
I keep my cinnamon rolls in the freezer and when I want one I just put it in the oven with a little dollop of real butter on it for 5-10 minutes or until the butter melted. So air fryer will work just fine I guess
Yes, the airfryer usually works wonders for day or two old pastries, For 5 years I've been using it regularly several times a week when I always happen to buy a treat that I don't have time to eat that day. 😅
GJ Denmark beeing the first and weakest boss of the north.. with love from sweden! ;) ohh yea ; the bakers i know goes to work at 2-3 at night just to make the dough.
LOL! So are you saying Sweden does baked goods better?
@@dwaynesview ohh heck yea thats what im saying :), how can we not be when we're famous for Fika! :D
McD being cheaper in CPH seems weird? I don't go there often, and haven't been for a while, but as far as I recall, a medium BicMac menu is around 90 kr/12€/10£.
I guess ther´s a reason why it´s called Danish or Danish Pastry in the US.
Downtown abbey 😂
We love FIKA up her in the North:)
I'd say it's a 50/50 between Sweden and Denmark. They'rw both really good at it but I think it depends on what you get.
Well I am myself nearest so of course I say Sweden but I love danish pastry.❤
It always comes down to the particular konditori, doesn't it? Rather than the country.
@herrbonk3635 Denmark, Sweden both bake very good pastrys, but I can not travel to Denmark every time I want a wienersemla. And we all have different taste and our favoritkondis.
2 days old kanelsnegl? i never had one that was more than 12 hours old... i also worked in a bakery before, eating them just as they come out the oven... it dosen't get better than that!
I bake my own cinnamon buns.❤
scandinavians can drink i approve. No problem heating stuff thats what we do it heard ikea sells swedish cinnamon rolls frozen packs
Haha! They definitely can according to my brother lol! It was honestly the best Cinnamon Roll I've ever had! So buttery! I feel like I've been lied to my whole life. What they sell here doesn't taste like that.
Those are not very good though. IKEA use far too much sugar in their buns.
@@dwaynesview According to William Shakespeare, too. Read Hamlet.
It is funny that there arent any copenhagen bakeries among the top 15 bakeries in Denmark in the 2024 competition ;-)
Neither denmark or sweden is best we both are as good :)
It is like 10 pounds to fly to copenhagen. Get there already and feast for a weekend. They are better bakers than the rest of us nordics. The food is more rustic in Sweden though. Do not eat in Norway. They eat fishbones in jelly and have not yet discovered salt.
Pretty sure that you'll get fresh if you go to a bakery in the UK too.
Too many buy the store bought stuff. Your quote about London not being the real england applies to Stockholm and all other capitals too.
Oh no... you don't reheat it like that. We usually eat them as they are - meaning at room temperature. In Danish we call them "kanelsnegl" which means "cinnamon snail". There are variations from different regions. So our kanelsnegl is slightly different from the Swedish kanelbulle.
The thing many of us Danes find really strange tasting, is the Swedish bread. Almost all bread in Sweden is made with sugar, so it is sweet. Personally I don’t like it, especially when you want to eat charcuterie on top…
Sweden and Denmark's pastries are top tier... But most pastries and the school of desserts and bakery actually originated from Portugal and spread throughout Europe and beyond from there, so I think it is unfair to not include the Portuguese in this instance, a culture within Europe that not many know a lot about. :)
Home made ❤❤❤❤❤
Dwayne, you are such a sweet and charming young man. Is your accent northern? or midlandish?
We should probably send drone containers with pastry aid from Denmark to you guys in the UK, just as you sent containers with weapons, explosives and radio receivers / transmiitters to the resistance in Denmark during WW2 :-)
I put day old microwave maybe 5-10 seconds. I don’t have air fryer.
cinnamon snail..
Danes are quiet, reserved but most often polite... thats until you either behave very inappropriate, become friends with them or they're drunk... at that point they tell the truth with no filter...
You'll easily hear even 2nd graders using the f-word amongst each other, but when they're at the grocery store talking to the grocer they'll be the cutest and most polite kids you ever saw 😄 that's just Denmark, and I don't want that to change.
Being polite and humble in a public setting is nice, but not having "forbidden words" is also nice... then you're not in doubt what people mean. Straight talk.
I think Denmark and Sweden got exemptions from the EU regarding how much cinnamon was allowed in one serving, because it could be considered a cultural dish... correct me if I'm wrong.
My own policy, regarding my kids, is that sweet pastries are okay as long as they eat a more varied lunch and dinner. Then a little sugar shock once in a while is okay.
Personally I'm not that much into the sweet stuff, certainly if it doesn't come with a cup of coffee.
I'm surprised if freshly baked is rare in the UK... every Lidl in Denmark has fresh bake-off by now.
Cheaper than where you are from? Sweden's prices are going to look free at that point then. Most MC meals here are between 6-11 dollars. Also, coming from a Swede, isn't fresh baked standard? Even our supermarkets have their pastries baked fresh every day, in the store.
not seeing an oven is not really a red flag, they're usually not in view of the customers, the ovens are in the back in its own room where they do the actual baking.
Danish is clearly bitter ❤
Hahahaha :D you live in "REAL" England :D so funny, Throughout your video, i was thinking the very same thing. I'm From Jylland, and Copenhagen is like London for me. I live in in "REAL" Denmark. Copenhagen is different from the rest of Denmark. It's hard to compare the two, I often don't recognize, what people say in YT videos about Denmark, from their experiences in Copenhagen.
But about Bakeries...
Back in the day, most small towns would all have their own little bakeries, and their own little grocery shops. But now most of them have closed down, There are still a lot left, but they are all struggling daily, because of supermarket cheap fresh bake-off goods.
And the shops have been replaced by supermarket chains. So little by little, all the baked goods become uniform and rather boring, but the problem is, bakeries cannot compete, with the cheapness of bake-off goods, they are simply to cheap, and still rather fresh, so many people opt for buying them, when they are already at the supermarket anyway.
We are not fancy like Copenhagen. But we still have our own little bakery, and they seem to be doing alright for now. They have all the traditional things, that Danes like to buy, so we go as often as our wallets allow. We like to buy things locally. And i think most REAL Danes, do the same .
You have a good little Channel thank you for your hard work, i hope you can come to Denmark one day and taste for your self, the fresh baked goods. But don't limit your self, to the option of Copenhagen, ( same goes, for equally lovely Sweden and Norway )
Have a good one, Love from Ida in Jylland.
9:35 Those look like typical hipster places though, not normal bakeries.
(I live in Stockholm-Uppsala and tend to avoid such places; prefer a traditional konditori.)
Yeah I definitely need some suggestions of normal places. Maybe more affordable but good lol!
@ I belive I actually gave you a list of nice konditorier in Stockholm "under" another video of yours (where another guy also added his favourites).
I could be wrong though, but I think it was your video :)
If in Stockholm you need to visit "vete-katten" (konditori)
As a Finn, I love Norwegian pastries.
Oooh! Well I'll have to try some out in Norway as well
They have pastries? I had no clue. I never eat while I'm there
@@loris-bismar Yep we do! Look for "bakeri"
❤❤❤❤❤
Omnomnom!
Our pastries ARE f#¤%ing awesome.... welcome to the cult, bruv!!
This is not the same as a swedish cinnamon bun, in denmark the doug is different ❤
We have cheap gym memberships here in Denmark.😉
Gonna need it when I come lol!
it's a strawberrt pie
No no not airfryer 🙈
😂😅
There's a reason it is called a danish...
ruclips.net/user/shortsEXo3e_HFYcg about Nordic countries and chocolate
Next time use a microwave if possible for 30 sec. Otherwise airfryer 160 degrees celsius for 4 minutes.
WTF... 😂😂. On behalf of all Nordic countries... I'm offended... Easily gets too dry...
If you can't get those fresh... Room temp is the best option..
10sec in microwave is enough
6 White Russians and three beers? That better just be the first 2-3 hours or I'm gonna be disappointed.
I think you Will gain 10kg when you arrive to sweden or denmark 🤣🤣😜
Just like London is not real England, Copenhagen is not real Denmark! 😁
