{ My favourites :: Finnish baking }

I was looking back on my posts in May and realised just how many Finnish, or Finnish inspired, baked goods I made. Perhaps (obviously?), my favourite would be the cardamom and coffee macarons. Though give me anything sweet with cardamom and I am a happy girl.
My faithful baking companion, The Great Scandinavian Baking Bookby Beatrice Ojakangas, may be returned to the shelf for now but I am sure she will make an appearance again soon.
In the meantime, here is a quick re-cap of what I made last month during my Finnish baking adventures. This list surely now includes some of my new favourites.
1. Cardamom macarons with coffee cream
2. Hannatädinkakut :: Aunt Hanna’s Cookies (p138)
3. Karjalanpiirakat:: Karelian Rice Pasties (p272)
4. Mustikkapiiraat :: Blueberry Filled Buns (p237)
5. Omenapiirakka :: Finnish Apple Pie (p240)
6. Pulla :: Finnish Cardamom Bread (p70)

[...] about it now, a blueberry macaron would have been perfect to include during my recent Finnish baking month. Berries feature strongly in Finnish baking – particularly blueberries. I am still happy [...]

Oh my, these would be m favorite as well. They look utterly delicious. I’ve tried Beatrice Ojakangas Danish recipe, and was successful and everybody just love it!
Like a beautiful cookbook cover Julie…gorgeous, each one of them. I want winter to come soon so I can try some of this too.I’ve done a Danish for a DB challenge once & it was FAB!!
I LOVE eatrice Ojakangas, and have made her pastries and potato lefse many times. You have more than done her justice. Beautiful pastries and photos!
Oops, forgot the B in Beatrice..Where did it go?? LOL
so lovely + yummy looking! love how you packaged it.
All those pictures look so cute
!!! And I totally adore your macarons ^^! I would love to be able to make them, too, but I gave up on this 
… XOXO
What a fantastic recap of all your Finnish baking adventures
Which reminds me, there’s a recipe I need to send you. Can you give me a nudge if I don’t email you within the next couple of days?
What a gorgeous collection.
Everything looks delicious, lovely pics and I really like your paper tags ;o)
Rosa – thanks so much. I had fun baking them all.
Elra – I would love to tackle the Danish recipe. Are you talking about the one you made last month? That looked amazing. I want to give that a go. It’s now bookmarked!
Deeba – thank you. I wasn’t in DB for that challenge. I’ll have to Google that recipe.
Lisa – yes, isn’t she great? I will definitely make more from her book.
Simplesong – thank you. A lovely compliment coming from you. I really do love packaging and have been doing some research for my own upcoming wedding. Now I can’t help myself being inspired by great ideas I see around in the meantime.
Gine – thanks. Have you tried the Italian method? That’s the only one I can get to work almost 100% each time. If you’re up for it, give it a whirl. I’m typing up a bit of a macaron 101 for myself (my own jottings from my various batches). I’ll send it through when it’s done!
Y – thank you. Did you see the page numbers?
BTW, will email you back about the recipe. I’m more excited than you can know!
Syrie – thank you. I’ve got a new appreciation for Scandinavian baking.
Karin – hello! Thanks for stopping by. I’m doing some experiments with my tags…have a thing for food packaging.
Greetings from Sweden!
I am a Finnish girl living in Sweden. I´d like to say; thumbs up to the Finnish baking. Looks absolutely lovely!
I use a lot of berries too, in my baking. And I totally love both macarons and Karjalanpiirakka!
Keep up the good work!
