What is eaten for Cinnamon Roll Day

Kanelbullens dag has been kept in Sweden on 4 October since 1999, when the Home Baking Council started it for its own fortieth anniversary. The Swedish cinnamon roll is made from a yeast dough with cardamom, rolled with butter, sugar and cinnamon and topped with pearl sugar, not icing. It is the bun most tied to fika, the daily break for coffee and something sweet. Bakeries sell several times their usual number on the day.
