Example of a krokan

Krokan is a Swedish confection and a traditional dessert in the country. It is a multi-tiered pastry made from almond flour, constructed of thin pieces baked in decorative patterns.[1] The parts are then joined using melted caramelized sugar, assembled into a tower, and decorated with crisscross patterns[2] and marzipan roses.

Krokans are common at weddings, such as that of King Carl XVI Gustaf in 1976.[3] Krokan was the showstopper challenge in episode 9 of season 13 of The Great British Bake Off.[4]
