What Danish Babies Like to Eat

by yoko

Ever find yourself tossing and turning at night wondering what Danish babies like to eat?… Well, me neither.

Nevertheless, I had the priviledge to find out on Saturday when I attended Ernst’s third birthday party. This Danish baby threw his birthday party for brunch. Just like us, Danish babies invite their friends and family members into their homes. Sometimes they get mom to cater their parties. Because they hold their parties for brunch, light foods such as breads and cakes are served buffet style.

Ernst turns three and gets a birthday present.

Danish babies are very proud of being Danish and seem to decorate many of their foods with their national flag. In fact, even the dinner napkins were printed with Danish flags.

I really loved the assortment of fresh-baked breads and cakes, enough that I really wouldn’t mind being reincarnated into a Danish baby in the next life. The homemade berry jam, cheeses and butter were exquisite.

Danish babies are also quite easy going and pose for pictures.
