Simon has got me in trouble, because I can't translate the word "krokan" or "krokankaka". I even thought about asking the Professor, but on second thought...no. So if there is any of you readers of 591 out there who knows the word, please leave a comment. - Mr Urbano

Krokan is a pastry, made of almond paste and egg white as piquancy out in decorative patterns and baked, which subsequently merged with the melted, caramelized sugar and assembled into a tower, usually of several storeys, then decorated with icing and marzipan roses. Usual at weddings in the past. The same ingredients used to make the Danish festbakverken kransekage.
