Yesterday we took a day trip with my sister to Norrtälje, a small town 6 Swedish miles north of Stockholm. The reason for going there was that it has been a wish of my sister for a long time now to visit their famous Café “En liten smula” (means “A little crumb”).
The Café has an award winning owner, Therese Wikström – one of Swedens best pastry chef’s. Therese has worked in first class restaurants in both Sweden and other countries and have had Jan Hedh as mentor, which is a pastry chef Master and has World championships titles in the baggage. She has won prizes every year in row now.
When she was working on a restaurant in New York, she introduced the Swedish Semla on the menu as a dessert. The americans loved it. (Read what a semla is: Lifecruisers Semla)
This is a very small Café in a very old town house and the rooms are decorated like your visiting someone in their home, giving a very comfy feeling. We sat in the kitchen. Even though we didn’t find her best masterpeices in the Café, there still was a lot of delicious things – don’t you agree…?

Wow those look good! I think I just blew my diet by looking at them. I’ll have to go console myself with the chocolate fondue my friends and I will be eating tonight. Hmm, that might be counter-productive. Should taste awfully good though.
Robin from Israel (brand new to TT)
Lifecruiser: Warmth welcome Robin
Well, OK, that chocolate fondue didn’t sound so bad that either…. *droooling*
Mmmmmm… when IIIII come to Sweden, you MUST take me there! I want that chocolate and blackberry thing! And now you have me wondering… are Swedish Miles different from “other miles”???
Lifecruiser: Of course Melli!!! With pleasure!!!
Yes, your 1 mile = 1.609 344 kilometer. Our “mil” = 10 km.
Since 1889 when the metric system were finally introduced here, when we say 6 swedish miles, that’s actually 60 km, not quite like yours 6 miles huh? *lol*
So that should be 37,5 miles of yours with other words
Yum! That’s one of my guilty pleasures…cakes!!!:mrgreen:
I like that I can actually see a bigger pic when I point to the thumbnails…pretty cool!!!:wink:
Lifecruiser: Thanks Jenny. I wish I could offer you one of the cakes…
I would kill to be a sampler in that cafe. Yummy!!
Lifecruiser: Wow! i better stay out of your way then
OH MAN – I can see my diet running for the hills!
Lifecruiser: Oh yeah…. *lol*
What a clever entry to TTT. I’m not at all tempted, as I don’t eat cakes, unless I have to.
)
But when in Norrtälje, hm, I might pop in here, ONLY because of these wonderful pictures. Just to check out if they are real or not. LoL.
By the way: Thursday is MY day. The English don’t even know to write or pronounce it correctly. It is TORsdag; rember that.
Lifecruiser: Sure… *lol* Yes, we’ll remember torsdagar from now on
All of those pastries look so yummy! My eyes are like this:
I want to come visit you so you can take me to these cakes so I may eat them!
Lifecruiser: Yes, why don’t you? *teasing you* *lol*
yummm.. all that stuff looks so good
Happy TT
Lifecruiser: YES!!!!!!!!! *drooling*
ok, five words: yum yum yum yum yum! i’m dying over here! don’t you know i haven’t eaten yet today!!!!!! that’s ok. thanks for the delicious list. oh and the middle ones look like boobs! hahaha
Lifecruiser: Yes, I know! How fun isn’t that!!! *giggles*
You are going to so blow my diet! Those look so yummy!

Lifecruiser: Sooo, a little pause from the diet huh? *s*
holy cow it all looks so scrumptious!!!! I might have to go get something to assuage the sweet tooth you have awakened with all this! thanks hugely and happy TT
Lifecruiser: I’m just dreaming back…. *s*
Those look sooo good. Up here in the mountains fried pie is considered “gourmet” pastry. Normal sweets like pies and cakes are pretty good. But I can really go for stuff like you can bet at the “little crumb”.
Lifecruiser: Fried pie… OK, I’ll guess it would do too in case of emergencies
That’s “get” but you can “bet” I’d like one of those things with the rose in the center.
Lifecruiser: Yes, that is a “sweetie” huh? *lol*
OMG, those look absolutly delicious!
You got me all hungry now!
Have a great weekend!
Lifecruiser: I know
You to!
Yummy they all look delicious. But my fear is the weight I might gain if I gaze too long up on them. The one in the second column third down looks like little sweet boobs for the taking! Hmmm….hubby would like those!!
Lifecruiser: He he… yes, I also got this association
Looking at those pictures makes me want these Swedish cakes for dessert every breakfast, lunch, tea, dinner and supper! They look super yummy, and I love (adore) European cakes!
Lifecruiser: You should only see the smorgas cakes we can do over here…. *teasing you* (That’s something that I really drool over!!!!)
