Ole & Steen launches new seasonal summer cakes

The theme of the new menu is a celebration of the summer solstice.

Danish bakery chain Ole & Steen is unveiling three new cakes as part of their summer menu for Midsommar, a Scandinavian festivity that celebrates the summer solstice.

The first of the new cakes is the British Strawberries and Cream cake, taking inspiration from the iconic Wimbledon Tennis Championship. The desert features a white chocolate and lemon sponge topped with strawberry mousse, fresh strawberry, whipped cream and dried rose petals. This cake can serve one person or a large version can be ordered online for up to six people.

The collection also includes a raspberry, pistachio tart, with an almond base topped with dark chocolate, pistachio cream, fresh raspberries and pistachios.

The Midsommar menu will launch at all Ole & Steen locations on 25 June and these three new cakes will sit alongside the brand’s signature cream cakes including The Strawberry Tart and the Gateau Marcel. 

Ole & Steen is known as the ‘Home of the Social’ with the Cinnamon Social being their most popular and iconic item. Earlier this month the Danish bakery chain announced they were giving away 250,000 of their iconic Cinnamon Socials for free to start the solstice celebrations.
