Kanelbullens dag (Cinnamon Roll Day) has been celebrated in Sweden on Oct. 4 since 1999. The day was instituted to celebrate the 40th Anniversary of Hembakningsrådet. The purpose was to pay tribute to Swedish home baking traditions by highlighting a traditional and beloved pastry. The fall’s harvest time also means peak season for baking in Swedish homes.
Have fika at the Swedish American Museum and enjoy a cup of coffee and a Swedish kanelbulle (cinnamon roll) at $5 per serving the day after - Oct. 5 - and make your Monday a sweeter and Swede-ier one!
