Kanelbullens dag or cinnamon buns day at the 4th of October.

I år fyller Kanelbullens dag åtta år. 2007 firar vi den för nionde gången.
Den 4 oktober 1999 föddes den officiella Kanelbullens dag,
lagom till Hembakningsrådets 40-årsjubileum.
Kanelbulle blev det, eftersom det nog är den mest oomtvistade symbolen för hembakat bröd.
Kanelbullar doftar trivsel och hemma!Alla gillar kanelbullar!

Kanelbullar or cinnamon buns are a classic at Swedish coffee parties. During the golden age of home baking, such parties turned into orgies of sweet yeast breads, small cookies, cookies with fillings, pastries and cakes.
This tradition lives on in Sweden. If you are invited to someone’s home for coffee, you always get a cinnamon bun, a cookie or a piece of cake with it. And at cafés, dainty little cookies continue to compete with all those supersized American muffins.
