Growing up, we went on vacation in denmark every year und every year we would buy these packaged kransekager. They are my all time favorite treat. In recent years (3-4 years) they have seemingly disappeared from any store I visited. Every store I was in, I looked for them. The bakery sections as well. I cannot find ANY kransekager. Is this some kind of super unpopular snack to the point that NOONE is selling them anymore? What happened? Can anybory tell me where I can find my favorite snack? I may Just have to start baking these myself. I visit denmark along the northern westcoast, if that helps. 🙁

It’s mostly a seasonal treat, reserved for New Years or sometimes celebrations so that might be why you can’t find them in store atm.
It’s a bit of a seasonal treat typically served at New Year’s Eve, it used to be more common at other types of celebrations (weddings, high school graduations, anniversaries etc) but it has somewhat fallen out of fashion.
Anyway I found it at the webpage of MENY https://viborg.meny.dk/produkter/karen-volf-kransekage-m-4-stk-5709364673633
They are usually only sold up to New Year’s Eve and then in the middle of the year up to graduation. I rarely see them beyond those periods. 🤷🏽♀️
Ask a bakery. They can make it for you. Or do it by yourself aint that hard.
They are very easy to make, so i would suggest finding a recipe and doing it yourself 🙂
Kransekage is usually only eaten on new years eve in my experience, so it’d be quite hard to find it at any other time of the year.
Don’t know about the packaged stuff though.
We usually only eat them around New Year’s Eve, so they can be hard to find in the summer. I can recommend making them yourself. It is very easy!
You can usually find “kransekagemasse” in the bigger stores so you just pipe it yourself
Just a little tip: Sometimes they appear when our high school students graduate close to summer. Then they will be a part of a “spot” selection in supermarkets weekly newspaper
It’s really easy to make yourself. Here’s a recipe in English. You don’t have to make it into a tower. Just make plain “sticks” and dig in: https://skandibaking.com/kransekage-marzipan-wreath-cake/
Although a new years treat you are absolutely right. I did not think of this
You might be lucky if you go to the big supermarkets like Føtex, Kvickly or Bilka. I think I saw them in Meny last week but it might just be my brain making stuff up.
They have them in my local Meny all year round. Maybe try one of those! Whilst they are seasonal, I think Karen Wolf knows we’ll eat them all the time if we get the opportunity.
Bilka have kransekage year round. And they are better quality than the Karen Volf.
the best bid would be looking inside a rema 1000 for these even if it seasonal u can find them from time to time.
Bilka sometimes has, they also sell dough for it so you can make yourself, same for superbrugsen, but it’s more seasonal and then sometimes you are lucky they bought home a box or two outside the season.
Otherwise spar or meny could probably have them tbh, the “shopowner” often has more power over what they buy and sell if it’s not basic items, i think my local spar has them.
I often see kransekager at Føtex bakeries!
They turned into cringe cakes
Holy crap, der are many good vendings in this tråd.
