Danish bakers Ole & Steen have unveiled new cakes in celebration of the long-awaited summer. Ole & Steen celebrated Midsommar, a Scandinavian festivity that celebrates the summer solstice, by unveiling three special and super indulgent cakes.

Earlier this month Ole & Steen announced they were giving away 250,000 of their Cinnamon Socials for free to start the solstice celebrations. Ole & Steen will now share some more hygge - a Danish word for relax and enjoy the good things in life - with the new cake menu launch.

The additions include British Strawberries and Cream cake and a raspberry, pistachio tart.

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

Ole & Steen UK Managing Director, Graham Hollinshead, said: “The Lemon Cheesecake is my particular favourite, with sweet, zesty flavours it won’t disappoint!”
