So when National Geographic named the Top 10 places in the world to eat ice cream, Vaffelbageriet…read moreactually ranked #9. I didn't realize I was patronizing the ninth best ice cream parlor in the world when I took a sweet-tooth respite during my leisurely evening stroll in the world-famous Tivoli Gardens last September. In fact, I didn't know the place had a name, but I just saw a herd of toddlers with over-sized cones and followed the drip marks on the pavement. Those led me to a very festive-looking pavilion with a welcoming counter chock full of sweet treats not the least of which was ice cream. Apparently, the name of the place is Danish for ice cream served in large waffle cones, which no surprise, is their house specialty. Their most popular item is the Amerikaner, a decadent-looking mountain of ice cream in a waffle cone, four scoops worth ladled with some syrupy, only-in-Europe topping, dollops of whipped cream, and a chocolate-covered meringue puff rather than the expected maraschino cherry. It doesn't look like anything I've seen in the states, but it's called the Amerikaner because it's the picture of unhealthy excess, I'm guessing. What a reputation we have across the pond. I refuse to live down to my stereotype and went for a good old-fashioned vanilla soft-serve waffle cone covered in chocolate sprinkles, large of course (see photo). Sure, it was still decadent but at 30 DKK (Danish krone) or $5.32, it was a relative bargain. And frankly, it was one of the creamiest cones I've ever had, which of course, means it's still sitting in my thighs all these months later. No matter since it hit the spot, and for Pete's sake, or I guess I should say for Per's sake, it was Tivoli, and you're supposed to have carnival food. So stop judging me. Anyway, I don't know if Vaffelbageriet is truly the ninth best ice cream in the world, but who's complaining?

There were so many options in the pastry case that I couldn't pick just one, so I tried a cream puff, pistachio danish, and a hot chocolate to go along with them. They brought my order to my table where I had a nice view of the park grounds. To my surprise the hot chocolate was a build your own, I received a cup of hot milk, whipped cream on the side, and different types of chocolate truffles to mix in with the milk depending on my preference. The danish and cream puff were some of the best treats, perfect taste, perfect texture, perfect everything! Cakenhagen is a Tivoli gem and I am dreaming of the day I can go back to savor their treats again. I'd give them more than just five stars if I could!

Lagkagehuset is a renowned bakery and café located in the heart of Copenhagen, celebrated for its…read moreexquisite menu of pastries, breads, and beverages. Now, where did the name originate? "The name comes from the appearance of the first bakery, which was a square building with alternating cream-colored layers resembling a layer cake." This bakery also serves breakfast items, brod (open face )sandwich and coffees. Here is a sample of pastry offerings in Danish: Wienerbrød: The general term for what English speakers call "Danish pastries". Kanelsnegl: A cinnamon roll. Spandauer: A pastry typically filled with jam or custard. Frøsnapper: A pastry sprinkled with seeds. Tebirkes: A poppy seed pastry. There are numerous locations for this bakery. I visited the location in main hall of Kobenhaven K or Central Station before catching my train to Kronborg Castle. The space was filled with people who were grabbing a ticket and then wait for ticket number to be called. I was indecisive and thought I saw a pastry with lemon filling. The employee who seemed a bit flustered told me that it was not lemon and she did not have anything with lemon. It turned out to be vanilla custard which was just as good. I also tried the green sprinkled marshmallow ball. She placed my two items in their own bag. I wanted a shopping bag which she snidely says "It cost 5 krone". Unfortunately, my New York response was snide as well, "I don't care". The two pastries were delicious. However, service needs to be as exquisite as the items you sell, unfortunately this location is lacking in that. There is another, smaller located downstairs from concourse whose employees are sweeter. Nok sagt or enough said.

Knowing this, I wanted to get some churros for dessert while wandering around the Tivoli Garden after dinner. I was ensure by kind and friendly employees, who also told me that only two of their variations are vegan: churros with sugar, and churros with sugar and cinnamon. I got the churros with sugar and cinnamon, and they tasted like just what I expected and definitely satisfied my sugar cravings. The only downside was that they were warm, but tasted a bit stale --but that could've been because I visited super late at night and I was their last customer that just happened to get the last bits of churros that were about to get thrown out.

My friend got the seasonal mighty mango ice cream in an original bubble waffle with strawberries for 55kr.

One of the best hot chocolates I've ever had and this definitely helped warm my hands up. Don't forget to also get the Kransekage (crown cake) for dessert. A triangular, long shaped cake made of compacted marzipan, nougat and dipped in 70% chocolate. Holy marbles.

(no one mentioned, no one forgotten) Let's take a 'hindbærsnitte'. (awesome and simple Danish raspberry cake) - where other bakeries use a cheap, generic raspberry jam - Dessertdragen makes it's own jam! Currently I'm living in New York City, and craving for the quality of the cakes from Dessertdragen I had my boyfriend bring some, yay. And speaking of NYC; when I left Denmark I had a special cake made by Dessertdragen - see the attached picture. When the owner of Dessertdragen moved back to Denmark, NYC lost it's most creative soul in baking!
