Happy Cinnamon Bun Day: On October 4, the Swedes celebrate their favourite pastries
Anyone who has ever been to Sweden knows the classic Swedish cinnamon roll, called kanelbulle. It is one of Sweden&#;s most popular sweet snacks. The cinnamon roll (or &#;cinnamon bun&#;) is often served at Swedish coffee breaks, which are called fika.
&#;Kanelbullens dag&#;
The cinnamon buns are available at Swedish supermarkets, cafés, kiosks, and gas stations. One could almost say that pretty much every day in Sweden is a &#;Day of the cinnamon bun&#; (Kanelbullens dag).
But as it is in Sweden: Many favourite dishes have their own holidays in the calendar, and in the case of the cinnamon bun it is October 4, when this delicacy is especially celebrated. We have celebrated this &#;food day&#; since
Almost 60 percent of all Swedes are expected to enjoy a cinnamon bun on October 4. Approximately seven million buns will be sold on that day, and at least as many will be baked in Swedish homes.
Have a happy fika!

Cinnamon Roll Day is intended to be a day to promote Swedish baking traditions, with a particular focus on cinnamon buns, and to increase the consumption of yeast, flour, sugar and margarine. The day is promoted throughout Sweden and Finland, with advertising appearing in shops and cafés.
While the precise location and date of the first cinnamon roll are unknown, this pastry was first created in Scandinavia sometime in the early 18th century, with variations popping up in different countries across the world soon after.

Kanelbullens dag
Kanelbullens dag infaller den 4 oktober[1] och är en årlig temadag i Sverige och Finland, instiftad av Kaeth Gardestedt.[2] Syftet med dagen är att uppmärksamma den svenska traditionen att baka hemma, och man valde att lyfta fram den svenska kanelbullen.
Gardestedt var vid tidpunkten för instiftandet projektansvarig för Hembakningsrådet, historiskt en sammanslutning av producenter av jäst, mjöl, socker och margarin som numera drivs av Dansukker.[3] Att öka intresset för hembakningen var syftet med Hembakningsrådet då det bildades [4]
Kanelbullens dag uppmärksammas även bland svenskar runt om i världen, bl a i Nya Zeeland och på många orter inom Svenska kyrkan i utlandet.[5]
Att kanelbullens dag infaller just den 4 oktober beror på att Gardestedt och Hembakningsrådet enligt egen uppgift ville att dagen, som skulle infalla på hösten, inte skulle konkurrera med andra traditioner såsom äppelfestivaler, gåsmiddagar, kräftor eller surströmming. År , när kanelbullens dag lanserades, var den 4 oktober dessutom internationella barndagen, och "en tanke med kanelbullens dag var att det skulle vara en omtankens dag".[6]
