Hello everyone. For those of you who have followed my blog, you know that I love staying in touch with my Swedish heritage. Swedes love baked goods. My favorite Swedish foods are the cookies and cakes I grew up on, which my grandmother used to bake for me in Sweden.

Much to my delight, a Swedish themed bakery named FIKA opened up around the corner last year and is filled with so many of the treats me and my children adore. FIKA’s coffee comes with a lovely, smooth aroma and delicious flavor too!

Since I’ve been so busy with the boys of late, who are both immersed in the rigors of Middle School homework, I haven’t had as much time with my little girls as I would have liked. So, this week, I decided to do special time with Marielle and take her out to breakfast at FIKA. She was thrilled.

Here’s the cardamon and cinnamon filled bun she chose, coated with pearl sugar. What is Pearl Sugar? Pearl Sugar is a type of specialty sugar that is often used in baking in Scandinavian countries. It does not melt at high temperatures so it stays intact atop your baked goods, which makes them extra special yummy with a special crunch.

A frothy hot-chocolate topped off this perfect little breakfast for Marielle.

Thanks so much for reading and check back in next week for another Weekly Wrap Up. Oh, and don’t forget to enter our Amazon giveaway!!

Love, Melissa xo
