Coffee and cakes are an integral part of coffeehouse culture. The Cafés d’Europe will offer their customers a selection of European cakes and sweets, and they will all receive the European recipe leaflet “Sweet Europe� as a give away.

More Euro-trifle at Sweet Jesus.

What about Battenberg (too German?!), English fruitcake (too English?!), upside-down cake (too upside-down?!). huh.gif

Nothing beats a good Victoria sponge... but then again, sticky toffee pudding, chocolate gateau, sherry trifle... Where's Mr. Kipling when you need him? happy.gif

No we`re not. We are a nation alone (at least as far as football goes)

It's one of these which overlaps I think, like Spaetzle are claimed by the Alsatians, Schwabs, Tirolians and Bavarians to be 'theirs'.

Austria has a cake I've never heard of, no Sachertorte!

Possibly even exceedingly good tongue.gif . The Swedish entry kanelbulle has it's own minimal website. The name is suggestive too, as is the photo . Any Swedes care to clarify?
A proverbial pat-on-the-back also to any of our Latvian readers who can provide us with a phonetic representation of Rupjmaizes Kartojums too cool.gif

Kanelbulle simply means 'cinnamon bun'... and thanks, BR, your post clarified more than you think.
