Nutella and lemon: Aalborg Bakery ends the season with a banger

Aalborg certainly doesn’t lack fastelavnsboller.

Still, Kim Grøn, the man behind GRØN Bakery, has once again expanded his range, which already included quite a few buns.

This time, he introduces two fresh creations, each heading in very different directions – one diving into the deep, sweet comfort zone, and the other stepping into the light, fresh dessert-bun territory.

Of course, we’ve tasted them ourselves.

Nutella in my belly

One of the creations is a Nutella fastelavnsbolle that doesn’t try to be subtle.

It features a fluffy butter bun, dipped in warm caramel and cocoa sugar, filled with both “borgmestermasse” Nutella and white chocolate mousse – and topped with toasted pecans.

And yes, if you’re a Nutella fan, this one hits the mark.

The white mousse and Nutella combine surprisingly lightly, and the caramel-dipped butter bun even gives a slight hint of brunsviger vibes.

It’s sweet, it’s rich – and exactly what you hope for when ordering a fastelavnsbolle that looks like this.

A fresh twist

At the other end of the spectrum is the lemon fastelavnsbolle.

Here, the base is a light and moist sponge cake with blue poppy seeds, coated in white chocolate and filled with lemon curd mousse, before being crowned with torched Italian meringue.

The result is a fastelavnsbolle that feels more like an elegant dessert than a heavy winter treat.

The lemon mousse adds a fresh, tangy contrast to the sweet meringue, and the overall experience is light, airy, and balanced.

In other words, it’s perfect for those who want a fastelavnsbolle without needing to roll home afterward.

With these two new varieties, Kim Grøn once again shows that GRØN Bakery masters both the indulgent and the elegant.

Whether you’re in the mood for a Nutella overload with brunsviger nostalgia or a light, zesty lemon finesse, it entirely depends on your mood and your sweet tooth.

One thing is certain: there’s no reason to believe the fastelavnsbolle season is running out.

At least not at GRØN Bakery.
