Brides Around The World – Norway

Kransekake is a traditional Danish and Norwegian confection, often eaten on special occasions in Scandinavia.

In English, the name means wreath cake. In Norway, it is alternatively referred to as tårnkake and is often prepared for Constitution Day celebrations, Christmas, weddings, and baptisms.

The original variant used at weddings is shaped like a cornucopia and filled with chocolates, cookies, and other small treats.

Sometimes a bottle of wine or akvavit is placed in the center, and the cake is decorated with ornaments such as crackers and flags.
