Finnish Tippaleipä
In Finland, the 1st of May (known as "Vappu") is widely celebrated. On this day, fragile and curvy funnel cakes ("tippaleipä") are served alongside with donuts ("munkki"), mead ("sima"), and sparkling wine. The celebration of Vappu starts already on the last day of April, and typically ends with a picnic the day after, if the Finnish spring weather allows it.
Funnel cakes are deep fried pastries topped with confectionary sugar. They are very crispy and fragile. Our tippaleipä is made of multiple layers, which are easier to eat and share. The cake is about 6.5cm (2.5 inches) tall and has diameter of 10cm (3.9 inches).
The class will be taught in English by Aleksandra Wojtas, the owner of Lapland Bakery, which has been bringing Nordic flavors to Bay Area residents for over 6 years.
