Gustavus Adolphus Pastry
Gustavus Adolphus Pastry[1] (Swedish "Gustaf Adolfs-bakelse") is a pastry traditionally eaten every 6 November in Sweden, Gustavus Adolphus Day, the death day of King Gustavus Adolphus the Great. It is especially popular in Gothenburg, a city founded by the king.[2]
It is unclear when the pastry was first created, some sources say the 1890s,[2] others 1909.[3] There are somewhat different recipes for the pastry, but it always has a portrait of the king on the top, usually made of chocolate or marzipan.[2]
