These posts will be mostly food related until I actually get back home to Copenhagen (Easter break - come to me!) because then I can take some of my own pictures. The last post was a peek into cupcake heaven, and this Copenhagen post continues to play on the sweet tooth - let's talk pastry goodies! Obviously Danish and Pastry (the amount of time I have heard the response oh, so you are a pastry? when I tell people I am Danish..) are two words that are often paired together but you ain't seen nothing yet! Lagkagehuset (which technically translates into The Birthday Cake House - aww) is a delicious bakery chain that makes some of the most amazing pastries, cakes and freshly baked bread aka carb heaven. Although the picture below isn't of the best quality, it was the only one I could fine that remotely captured the greatness of this cafe. Feast your eyes!

They also make some really good coffee so I would recommend this as a breakfast/taking a quick break from shopping cafe. There are loads of them scattered around as well (not the the same extent as Starbucks - that shit truly cray) so you will most likely find one a skip and a hop away, there are even a couple in Copenhagen airport! Although there are other cafe chains in Copenhagen (our version of Costa is called Baresso, which is also yummy but nothing touches this) it is Lagkagehuset that is the top of the pops (is that even a saying?). Yes, Danish pastries are popular around the world but they aren't that big a deal in Denmark. Shocker. Obviously there are Danish pastries in Denmark (logic) but I wouldn't say that they are our shinning glory of sweet things... In my opinion it is Drømmekage (translates into Dreamcake - you should try it just because of the name! I mean.. come on now) which is a sponge cake with some sweet goodness on top (I think there is coconut in it - so good). I am awful at describing things, so I am not really doing this delicious cake justice but please just take my word for it and try it if you are ever in Denmark! It is so good and now I am craving it. Damn it.

I cannot recommend this place enough! If you are ever in the wonderland that is Copenhagen, please please do yourself a favour and treat yourself to a little something from Lagkagehuset! When I finally get back home for my Easter break I will be doing a lot more posts about shops, bars and sights to see. Hope you are all doing beautifully!
Much Love,
Caroline
