Sales times for seasonal pastries are getting longer all the time. It must end.
Photograph has been pinched on January 22nd.
A snap photo shows a showcase in a cafe. It has reflective glass surfaces and an ape-gray overall impression. However, it makes sense in the picture to realize why it was taken.
It represents the depletion and corruption of our time. After all, the same picture shows three seasonal pastries at the same time!
The lowest shelf has a basket of Christmas cakes, the middle shelf has a plate of counters (with two different fillings) and the upper shelf has a handsome runeberg cake.
And right now we are living in those same times of danger. Anytime and anywhere a bona fide seasonal pastry person may find themselves in the awkward situation depicted in the photograph.
For Christmas cakes after all, they don’t collide very often after the turn of the year, and that’s probably because their season is long and intense. It starts in October, at the same time as the little Christmas season wakes up.
In the early days of the year, runeberg cakes rush to the display cases. Their heyday lasts a little over a month, but the splendor of the reign of the runeberg cakes is dimmed by the fact that a strong challenger appears alongside them: with the bastard.
The occurrence time of the counters is the least precise of all the seasonal delicacies, because the place of the counters in the calendar varies. This year, Fall Tuesday slips to the middle of March (March 1), so the season will last for almost a month and a half.
The time to wait for seasonal delicacies is not long in the spring. The season for drip breads and May Day donuts begins in early April.
The Passover feast of Jesus, the Passover, is a busy baking time, but there is no actual seasonal pastry associated with it. Mommies, though, have been in stores for some time. The same facelessness also applies to Midsummer and actually all summer. In the summer, you can enjoy what hurts. In stores, the peak in demand for the sweet summer is on the bottom shelves of the cake.
According to retail chains, it is not a question of the seasonality of seasonal pastries being extended. People are more reluctant to stick to current affairs.
That is why it is a little surprising that there is only one season in Finland, marked by certain types of sweets. That season is Christmas with Christmas chocolates and green balls.
The importance of chocolate in particular is so great that there have been attempts in the trade to develop a similar product or product group for other seasons. So far, the closest to success are Easter chocolate eggs and candies that fit the Halloween theme. Maybe in the future we’ll be horrified by the avalanche of spring salmon and midsummer toffees.
