Reviews of the Swedish lent bun, semla.

MR Cake

Rating 3.5 out of 5'

A round and evenly baked semla bun with dark dots of cardamom. The lid is triangular and dusted in icing sugar. Underneath the lid is a large piped twist of whipped cream with deep folds. Under the cream light-brown almond paste is visible. The paste visible to the right is grainy from the ground almonds with some ground cardamom.

A semla with a rough-cut round lid. The cream has a smooth surface and has been piped as a mound, giving the semla a distinctive look. Under the cream, light brown grainy almond paste can be seen. There are no visible chopped nuts. The bun itself is slightly wrinkled, like it has collapsed slightly. Some of the icing sugar that has been dusted on the lid has collected in the wrinkles.

A tall and elegant semla with a triangular lid. There is a good dusting of icing sugar on the lid. Under the lid are ribbons of whipped cream. The cream is smooth and the contours have held their shape. The bun is sitting on a white round plate and almonds are visible, sticking out from under the cream. The almonds are a mixture of whole and roughly chopped almonds and some of them are defying gravity stuck to the side.
