Wicked Wednesdays: Illum Bakery-Betsy

Carlyn and I were chatting the other day about things we could do to spice up the blog, and she came up with a fantastic idea. On Wednesdays DIS students do not have class, so our days usually consist of sleeping in late, feeling a tad under the weather due to the night before, and studying. I've decided to go on a search for the best Copenhagen bakery and visit one each Wednesday. The only rule is that I have to ask the person behind the counter for the best one.

I have walked by this bakery dozens of times before and thought it would make the perfect initial destination. This bakery is located on Stroget, which is a collection of streets running through the center center that make up the largest pedestrian walking street in Europe. The bakery is actually situated inside of one of Copenhagen's largest department stores: Illum. Now first of all, this is definitely one of the best stores in Copenhagen, and I like it 10x better now that I know how great the bakery is. The bakery was extremely well stocked with sugary and savory items.

I walked up to the counter and asked for the best pastry they had. She hesitated (obviously could not decide because everything looked fantastic) but then picked a type of cinnamon role thing with chocolate icing. It definitely did not disappoint. It was basically pure sugary deliciousness. I sat down on a fountain in one of the city squares to enjoy my hangover cure.

Overall, successful first visit to a bakery!
 Farvel alle!
