3. Strawberry cake
If there’s something a Swede with a sweet tooth and no lactose allergy never turn down, it’s a cream excessive jordgubbstårta, which translates to strawberry cake. But of course, this is not your ordinary everyday fika. If you’re lucky, you’ll find this delicacy in a well-assorted patisserie and maybe get a slice for dessert when celebrating midsummer.
Bonus tip – Local specialities
Worth noting is the fact that there are, of course, regional and local variations when it comes to fika preferences in Sweden. Uppsala, for example, is known for being the home of the annual Swedish bandy finals. For this special occasion, confectioner Frida Leijon has come up with the official bandy pastry, shaped like the ball of the sport – a truly delicious part of this grand event!
