Semla - the making of...

 

Cardamom for the Semla. We peel and grind each one in house! 

We weigh the dough for consistency

Freshly whipped cream

Cutting the lid, filing it with our home made almond paste.

Topping it with cream and dusting the lid with icing sugar.

Happy Shrove Tuesday

Semla - how do you eat yours?

14 February is approaching, people are calling in to find out if we are making this strange, yet delicious concoction. This is our Fat Tuesday indulgence...

What does it consist of?

A cardamom flavoured bun filled with almond paste topped with cream and dusted with icing sugar. 

At Fika we make all of it at home from the bun to the almond paste. 

Tweet us @fika_london to tell us how you eat yours.

Lucia and Lusse bullar

Lucia is the celebration of Saint Lucia the, bringer of light. It is a magical celebration indeed.
Traditionally you make these gorgeous saffron buns and drink mulled wine. Hanna was baking away all day yesterday to ensure that all of you who had pre-ordered your buns would get them. I hope you enjoyed them all. We will continue to sell Lusse bullar until Christmas.

Here is a shot of them before they went in the oven

Once cooked, they look like this... yum!

Don't we need a little more sweetness in winter?

Our little Hopper, now 15 weeks, 
has had one kladdkaka too many. 

Give me 100 pus-hups, Hopper!
