Semlor

This year Fettisdagen was very late, so we couldn't keep ourselves from making semlor earlier... but we decided not to make them as plain as the traditional ones usually are!
It all started as a discussion while we were trying to make decorate some cupcakes; it came to us that the most underrated pastry of all time (we might be a little subjective on that point...) could be reinterpreted a little....


... And so we invited a couple of great friends over to make some!
It certainly was a weird day though; first we made some cupcakes (because one of the friends that was supposed to come is allergic to almonds) and everyone started to drop in... along with two highschool girls that they found along the way. Apparently they had a craving for chocolate, which I hope got satisfied by chocolate cupcakes and some 70-100% cacao chocolate that our friend Anders brought! ^_^

We got to work on the baking and decorating, and together produced these lovely (and tasty!) Semlor:

Afterwards, we all sat down together in the living room to eat, and watched Scott Pilgrim vs the World. In other words: a perfect end to a great day!
