This treat is the bomb.....calorie bomb!
On the church calender last Sunday marked the beginning of Lent which is the start of the period of fasting prior to Easter. In Norwegian Lent is Fastelavens, so these buns in english would be Lent buns. I am not one for fasting, but if you had plans to engage in such practices these buns would give you the adipose triglyceride store boost you might need to get yourself through.
These buns have basis in a basic sweet bun. The bun is sliced horizontally and filled with whipped cream and a thick layer of marsipan. I am fortunate enough to have a mother with culinary skills well beyond the norm so our buns are filled with home made marsipan, made from freshly ground almonds. To top it off the bun is dusted with a touch of icing sugar.

Wow, that looks SO tasty! Do you know any single Norwegian girls? ;)
I know single Norwegian girls, but you have no chance unless you get yourself a one way ticket to the "land of the midnight sun". Most Norwegian girls are smart enough to stay put in the motherland, or at least not venture to our vast plains. If you want to meet some outside Norway the best chance is Turkey (tons of med students) or Spain (vacation hotspot).
Ok. I'm in. Norway here I come!
