Pepperkaker Christmas Tree
Kransekaker pyramids are wonderful eatable decorations for any Norwegian Christmas table but unfortunately some of us don’t have the luxury of kransekaker dough readily available to us in the stores (or the time to make the dough ourselves). So… why not make your own pepperkaker Christmas tree?
To make, I free-hand cut the pepperkaker dough into triangles into ascending sizes before cooking. When the pepperkaker was cooked and cooled, I stacked them on top of each other using icing as glue. I left the pyramid to set for an hour. I then decorated it with more icing and also used it to stick on smarties and lollies. That easy. Now we have a home-made Christmas decoration that will satisfy the best of ‘nibbles’.

On any celebration table in Norway you can always find a Norwegian layer cake (bløtkake). What better way to celebrate Norwegian Constitution Day than with fresh cream, wild berries and a little bit of sponge in between.
The further ‘out of the way’ you go the more common it is to see folk cottages standing by the side of roads, along fjords or in a thicket of trees, minding their own business. 
Norwegian dogs were born with a purpose. They were bred to be hunting dogs, herding dogs and farm dogs.
Traditional Norwegian cuisine is based on natural resources.
A popular Summer activity in Norway is kayaking. The coast of Norway is dotted with thousands of little islands making the perfect conditions for a smooth paddle.
This is awesome! Kransekaker always reminds me of a tree anyway. I was thinking about making them this year and then realized I wouldn’t likely find the rings quick enough. This is a very festive alternative!
Hello from the States! I came across your blog and I am totally in love with it! I am a partial Norwegian, my father’s side is descended from the Vatterud farm north of Oslo. Growing up, I always made lefse and krumkake with my aunt, but I am really liking the pepperkaker tree. How cool! I plan on featuring your blog on mine tomorrow…I’m doing a week of “what makes the spirit of Christmas.” I will definitely have to share this site with my family. Cheers to you both and thank you for sharing all your pictures and stories!
