About the event
Each year, our Mindekirken community comes together to bake hundreds of dozens of cookies as we work toward our shared goal of raising funds to support Mindekirken. This year we will carry forward this special Mindekirken holiday tradition in true Norwegian form by baking sju slags kaker (seven distinct types of cookies). Historically, baking seven varieties (or more) is a centerpiece of Norwegian holiday hospitality and considered a symbol of wealth & good luck.
In the spirit of collaboration & consistency we are hoping to streamline the process this year and invite volunteers–both experienced & new to get involved with continuing this special Mindekirken tradition. We have a place for everyone, whether you are a seasoned baker or have never touched a krumkake iron.
