Danish Confectionery

If there is one thing that you shouldn't miss while in Denmark, then it definitely is their confectionery (konditori in Danish). Two of the most famous confectionery in town is Konditori La Glace & Konditori H.C.Andersen.

Konditori La Glace holds the name of the oldest confectionery in town for over a hundred years. Cakes & coffees are no doubt expensive here but also undeniably good. However, personally, I prefer Konditori H.C.Andersen much more for its lighter flavour. La Glace cakes are baked mocking fresh style where the cakes are rich and heavy while in H.C.Andersen, the cake is lighter and taste even better (to me).

My first attempt in H.C.Andersend was their platter of yearly cakes. Normally marzipan is not my cup of tea but they're use quite a lot in H.C.Andersen's year cake series & they taste just perfect, not overwhelming but you'll definitely notice its presence.


One of my favourite in H.C.Andersen is their vanilla fromage (pictured). I had to take some quick pictures with my mobile phone so don't let the look deceived you if the cake doesn't look nice to you. I think I can easily eat 2 in a row without any issue.
