| Um, where can I find these? |
Solvang, CA
Ah, Solvang. The old-world charm! The bakeries! The windmills! The bakeries!
In this quaint little village, shopping and dining are king, the weather is usually cooperative, and visitors can be found scarfing Aebelskiver.
Aebelskiver are tennis-ball shaped pastry spheres created, as if by magic, from a batter akin to that of pancakes or waffles. Sorry, Krispy Kreme...anything that may look like a donut but is made in special pans and are served by locals who know the history of said pastry are entitled to all street cred.
These delicacies are but one treat featured during this event. Got the metabolism to indulge for three days? Participate in the Dessert Reception featuring premiere local wineries and chocolatiers. The next day, make 40 - yes, 40 - stops during the Walking Smorgaasbord. On the last day of the event, enjoy live entertainment as you BYOP (Bring Your Own Picnic) to Solvang Park, wondering how you gained seven pounds in the last 48 hours.
Afterwards head home and get back to your normal life, "indulging" in sub-par donut holes at the local Winchell's. Bah.
