Welcome to Lapland Bakery.

Cinnamon bun

Cinnamon rolls are famous all around the world. We are offering you a cinnamon bun with a Finnish twist, and we mean not only the taste, but also a shape of the roll. In Finland, this bun is commonly called “korvapuusti”, which in literal translation means “slapped ears”. The Nordic version of the cinnamon bun has slightly different spices than the traditional American one, so we hope you will be positively surprised!

Nordic cardamom bun

This is the most common bun for coffee breaks in every Finnish office, home, and cafeteria! The secret of this Finnish cardamom bun, called “pulla”, lies in its simplicity. These are not too sweet, but definitely not savory. Pullas are simply buttery yeast buns with cardamom and delicious crunchy sugar on top.

Butter bun

Do you often have a feeling that sweets are looking at you and whispering to your ear “Eat me”? Well, with this bun it will definitely be the case! Our traditional butter bun has a delicious sweet buttery center. In Finnish, this bun is called “voisilmäpulla”, and it's for those of us who love Nordic cardamom buns, but want something to look for in the middle!

Finnish blueberry bun

This is the true taste of a Nordic summer! In Finland, these buns go by the name mustikkapiirakka. Like many other Finnish treats, they feature a soft, cardamom-spiced dough. The 'summer touch' here is the crown of fresh blueberries nestled right on top.

Tippaleipä

In Finland, the 1st of May (known as "Vappu") is widely celebrated. On this day, fragile and curvy funnel cakes ("tippaleipä") are served alongside with donuts ("munkki"), mead ("sima"), and sparkling wine. The celebration of Vappu starts already on the last day of April, and typically ends with a picnic the day after, if the Finnish spring weather allows it.

Funnel cakes are deep fried pastries topped with confectionary sugar. They are very crispy and fragile. Our tippaleipä is made of multiple layers, which are easier to eat and share. The cake is about 6.5cm (2.5 inches) tall and has diameter of 10cm (3.9 inches). To protect the very delicate structure, we sell the cakes in individual boxes.

Finnish donut — munkki

A Finnish munkki, like many other traditional buns, contains a hint of cardamom. These donuts are coated with a touch of fine sugar and are delicious on their own, but they can also be filled with jam for an extra treat!

Runeberg torte

Johan Ludvig Runeberg (1804-1877) was the national poet of Finland and the author of the lyrics for the Finnish National Anthem. Every year around his birthday on February 5th, Finnish people celebrate him with a very popular seasonal pastry -- the Runeberg torte.

Runeberg tortes are traditionally cylinder shaped and taller than muffins. They have a rich flavor with hints of almonds, cardamom, cream, or even cinnamon, and each torte has a signature raspberry jam topping with a sugar ring.

Our Runeberg torte is roughly 6cm tall (2.4 inches) and weighs about 100g (3.5oz).

Karelian Pies (karjalanpiirakka)

Due to the specific guidelines of the CFO license issued by the Santa Clara County Health Department, CFO businesses are restricted from selling "perishable" items. According to their current regulations, Karelian Pies are classified as perishable due to their rice porridge or potato filling. While this means I cannot sell them, I’d love to help you enjoy them another way! If you are interested in learning how to make them, I can offer a private class. Contact me for more details.

Bite size customizable treats

If you are organizing a party or event and want to add some authentic Nordic accents to your dessert table, many of my treats can be customized into bite-sized versions! Pricing for custom orders is agreed upon individually. Please keep in mind that while these items are smaller in size, the price is not simply reduced by half. Contact me for more details.

Individual packaging

Upon request, any of our treats can be individually packaged, making them perfect for party favors, wedding tokens, or small gifts for your guests.
