    @Perlina – Yes!

    @Amanda – Hope you were able to find an Australian version.

    @Jacqui – What a story. Hilarious! Those semlor. One can gain 5 pounds just by looking at them – http://blogs.sweden.se/photo/2011/02/11/tis-the-season-of-semlor/

    Hi Lola!
    When I was living in Switzerland, one of my Swedish friends had a bunch of us over for Semla. We were in the alps, mid-winter and it was snowy! Arriving at her front door, I peeked inside, greeting everyone as I stomped the snow of my very big, chunky snow boots. At first I mistook everyone’s yelps for a cheerful welcome, until looking down I realised that the tray of Semla had been left on the doorstep to cool. And I had completely flattened them with my boots. Oops… I’ve been known as Jacqui the bull since 🙂
    This post brought back lots of memories, thank you.

    What a fantastic day to celebrate – I will go and get the best Australian version of a cinnamon bun I can find and join the celebration!
