Runeberg's Day & Shroven Tuesday

On February 5, the day dedicated to Finland's national poet, J.L. Runeberg, bakeries all over the country sell cakes named after him around this date. Shrove Tuesday, the day before the start of Lent, when children and adults enjoy tobogganing together, has a bun of its own called laskiaispulla, filled with marzipan and whipped cream.
