Witness History - Sweden's Cinnamon Bun Day
Download Sweden's Cinnamon Bun Day
Sweden’s most beloved pastry is the cinnamon bun and every year on 4 October, locals celebrate the sweet, spiced snacks.
The country’s first official Cinnamon Bun Day (or Kanelbullens dag in Swedish) took place in 1999.
The woman behind the idea, Kaeth Gardestedt, tells Maddy Savage how the Swedish public embraced the event and turned it into a huge annual tradition.
