Sweden’s national day, 6th June, and NZ Queens Birthday, 7th June

This weekend, we should all celebrate - it's Sweden's National day on Sunday and NZ Queens Birthday on Monday!

I think this calls for Princess tårta (Princess Cake)! Please take a look at our recpie blog for the recpie. You can find Odense “Marsipan” at most supermarkets at the baking section.

The National Day of Sweden (Sveriges nationaldag) is a national holiday observed in Sweden on June 6 every year. The day was made into a national day by Riksdagen, the Swedish parliament, in 1983. Previously it was commemorated as svenska flaggans dag, Swedish flag day. (for more information see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Day_of_Sweden)

On Monday the 7th, Here in New Zealand we celebrate Queens Bithday (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen)


Have a nice weekend !
