Fairy tale cakes from La Glace adapted from Hans Christian AndersenAdapted from Hans Christian Andersenaf Marianne Stagetorn Kolos

There is nothing as heavenly as visiting a first class patisserie and digging your teeth into the most divine confectionery.
Reading Hans Andersen's fairy tales is also pure magic.

This book gives you both: 12 fairy tales and 12 fancy cakes from the old Copenhagen patisserie, La Glace. A fairy tale and a cake for each month of 2005 - the great Hans Christian Andersen year. Plus an additional cake No. 13, named after the poet.

Hans Andersen and La Glace have one more thing in common: La Glace opened during the period of the nineteenth century when Hans Andersen lived in Copenhagen. And who knows - maybe the great poet looked at the lovely fancy cakes in La Glace's windows while dreaming up his next fairy tale?

All the cakes can be made at home or bought at La Glace.
