Cream Bun


The yearly tradition of eating yourself fat before easter is still going strong even though most of is not fasting. And it starts right after Christmas instead of 20th-something of February. Anyhow, I did love Cream Buns/Semlor (as we say in Sweden) a lot before. Now a half is enough, and not too many/season. I've managed to taste five different Semlor this far. Now there will only be one more on the 20th of something. This is the ones that I've tasted, price and amount of points considering taste, looks and in comperation to the price.

1. Gateau - The winner!
They have both mini ones for 20 kr (perfect size) and big ones for 32 kr. The size, shape and consistency is perfect. The almond icing is wonderful and even the cream is really nice and at the perfect amount. But I still think that over 30 kr (not even 25 if I would get to choose) is too much for this, so that's what brings the grade down.

2. Linquists
The actual bun wasn't the best and too much cream, really nice taste though and alright price - 28 kr.

2. Boulevard Café & Conditori
Just something missing. A bit too big and the cream wasn't the freshest. Unknown price.

4. NK
Should be the best, but no-no. Expensive 38 kr!!! And rather small (very much enough for one person, but compared to the others).

4. 7-Eleven
19 kr and alright. A bit more than alright actually. I can amaging that a very fresh 7-Eleven bun would be awesome.
