FraisierStrawberry cream cake

The fraisier is the spring celebration cake of France, made for Mother's Day and family birthdays as soon as the first strawberries arrive: two layers of light génoise soaked in syrup, filled with vanilla mousseline cream and a ring of halved strawberries showing at the sides, finished with a thin layer of pink almond paste. The common mistake is assembling it with soft cream, so the strawberries slip. Chef's tip: build it in a ring lined with acetate and chill overnight; it slices cleanly with a hot knife.

SemlaCardamom cream bun

Semlor arrive in Swedish bakeries straight after Christmas and peak on Fettisdagen, Shrove Tuesday, when Stockholm bakeries sell them by the tens of thousands: a soft cardamom bun with its top cut off, the crumb scooped out and mixed with almond paste and milk, then refilled, piled with whipped cream and the 'lid' put back with a dusting of icing sugar. Some eat theirs in a bowl of hot milk, as 'hetvägg'. A common mistake is overbaking the buns, which dries them; they should be soft and pale golden. Chef's tip: grate the almond paste and mix it with the scooped crumb and a splash of milk until it is spreadable but still textured.

MazarinerAlmond tartlets

Mazariner are small oval or round tartlets found in every Swedish konditori: a short, buttery crust filled with a moist almond paste filling, baked until golden and finished with a thin, crackly white icing. They are a fika classic, with roots in the almond pastries of 17th-century Europe. A common mistake is overfilling the cases; the filling rises and spills over the edges. Chef's tip: fill each case only two-thirds full and ice them while barely warm, so the glaze sets thin and glossy.
