Nordic Cinnamon and Cardamom Rolls

Create your own shareable Nordic sweet rolls to celebrate Cinnamon Roll Day! Learn techniques to elevate your baking game using tools you have at home. Each participant will take home bread to bake.

Do you need a reason to celebrate? In Sweden, Norway, and Finland, October 4 is Cinnamon Bun Day (“Kanelbullens dag” in Swedish). Denmark doesn’t need a yearly holiday — cinnamon rolls, known as “kanelsnegle”, are a popular treat, especially on Wednesdays, where a large version called “onsdagssnegl” (Wednesday snail) is enjoyed.

This workshop will demonstrate simple techniques to turn breads and rolls into masterpieces using items you likely already have in your kitchen. Participants will be able to choose between cinnamon and cardamom and will take home rolls ready to bake.

This workshop is being offered in two identical sessions — September 30, 6 pm and October 4, 1 pm. Participants may choose one to attend.

This fall, the 2025 Summit County Community Read initiative will delve into the ways food connects cultures and communities—through shared traditions, culinary creativity, and personal stories.

Our featured book is “Saturday Night at the Lakeside Supper Club” by J. Ryan Stradal. Throughout September and October, many libraries across the county will host a range of book discussions and educational events inspired by the themes explored in the novel.
