It is a scandinavian tradition to have “kransekage” and champagne at midnight New Years eve.
“Kransekage” is made of almond paste, icing sugar and eggwhites. I always make my own instead of buying one from my local baker, it also taste much better. This is the one I have made for our New Year celebration tonight.
I wish you all a happy New Year 
Happy caking
Louise

I just saw the pans in a local cooking shop in Pennsylvania! Do you have a good recipe for the kransekage? I’ve had them at weddings in Minnesota. We are Norwegian and the entire state is populated with Scandinavians and Germans, of course our families have been in the US for over 100 years. Thanks for your inspiring ideas! -Kim
