25. Runeberg Torte, Finland
Oooh what a delicate little mouthful – but what a punch it packs. Allegedly taking its name from a poet who was so crazy about the dessert that it became synonymous with him, this is a rum-soaked cake of almond, atop which sits a circle of white frosting and a blob of raspberry jam.
26. Bolla, Iceland
Traditionally eaten as part of a three-day indulgence ahead of Lent, these are cream-puff type confections, featuring light pastry, a dusting of sugar, a smear of jam and a whoosh of whipped cream in the center. Kids wake their parents by smacking them with paper wands shouting “bolla, bolla!” – and they’re owed a bun for every smack they land before their parents haul themselves out of bed. For those with adults to attack, they’re widely available in the cafes and bakeries.
