the land where 'cake' means 'small, dry coffee cake'

So apparently in Finland, flat medium-sized cinnamon rolls are called "Big Texas Rolls". Thank you, Fazer. Glad to know it.

At least they taste good! Mm, cinnamon rolls. Even if they aren't soft and squishy and don't have icing.

Finns don't really have the knack of desserts. Or snack food. Or, like... sugar. Which is why people are so shocked by how good Toll House cookies are: they taste good because they're, like, solid butter and sugar.

Hmmm. I've never thought of that, but I guess Finns do have a somewhat peculiar taste in desserts. And baked goods - we're more into Karelian pies than sweet desserts. And what sweet desserts we have are pretty moderate in terms of sweetness. I mean, I can't even think of putting icing on cinnamon rolls. (Or anything else, for that matter. But that's just me.)
