Holiday bake schedules (Easter, 17th of May, Thanksgiving, Christmas & New Years) fill up weeks in advance so order early!
Mandel cakes are perfect for dessert buffets, weddings, holidays, no reason whatsoever!
A beautiful addition to a morning coffee date or an afternoon tea.
Our show stopper 18 ring cake serves between 50-100 guests when paired with other desserts.
Norwegian Kransekake varies from the Danish Kransekage so if you're accutomed to the Danish version please keep this in mind!
Each ring diameter is approximately 12mm and our ingredients are simple; Ground almonds (blanched & raw), sugar & egg whites.
Kransekake should never be refrigerated! If you have listed a specific delivery date we will schedule your bake accordingly and ship to ensure it's timely arrival. Your Kransekake can be left as is until you are ready to display. If you recieve it well in advance of needing it simply freeze as is until your preferred date.
All of our custom boxes have care instructions on the bottom and a good trick too.

DAMAGED KRANSEKAKE
We insure all of our kransekaker for $100 as a courtesy and at no charge to you.
Shipping mishandling, although rare, does happen from time to time and we are as disappointed as you when a break occurs.
You have the option to purchase additional insurance and in the event of a break please follow the instructions below.
It's imperative that you inspect your kransekake when it arrives and that you keep all of the packing materials in the event of a break.
A UPS claims adjuster will arrive at the shipping address and inspect our packaging. They will determine if our packaging is sufficient.
If there is no packaging we are not able to put in a claim for the insurance and therefore unable to issue a refund to you.
Additionally, Please take as many photos as possible so we can include those with the insurance claim. If we don't have any we will be unable to proceed with UPS!
The good news is kransekake is intended to be broken when served and we have videos on our website showing exactly how to do that. Please note that if you choose to eat your krtansekake we may not be able to secure the full value of your purchase as UPS requires that the damaged product be available for inspection.
