As it is mentioned in Wikipedia that this day is celebrated amongst Swedes in New Zealand - we better live up to the reputation and start baking :-) [See http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanelbullens_dag]
Cinnamon buns are an almost daily feature of Swedish life, but today, 4th October, is their special day. The tradition of celebrating Kanelbullens dag is however only eight years old – though it fits in perfectly with Swedish culture and tradition.
Cinnamon Bun Day was established in 1999 when staff at Sweden's Hembakningsrådet ('Home Baking Council') were looking for a way to celebrate their fortieth anniversary.
The idea behind the creation of the day was to celebrate Sweden's home baking tradition by highlighting a traditional and much-loved pastry. The autumn harvest is high season for baking in Swedish homes, so it was an ideal time of the year for a festive day with a baking theme.
