The Story Behind Flødeboller

Flødeboller (cream buns) were introduced to Denmark in the late 19th century, inspired by French confectionery. They became a bakery staple and industrial candy, with brands like Skumfiduser and Flødeboller from Toms becoming iconic. Danish children receive them at birthday parties and school celebrations.
