A Quirky Fairytale in Croissant Dough
Klods Hans – A Cake with a Crooked Smile and a Crispy Edge
At Baker Boys in Odense’s Skibhus Quarter, you’re in for a whimsical culinary experience with Klods Hans – a quirky, beautiful, and crispy tribute to Hans Christian Andersen and Andersen Forever.
A Quirky Fairytale in Croissant Dough
If you love being surprised – in both taste and appearance – Klods Hans is for you. This tall, almost theatrical cake is made with croissant dough and is deliberately designed to lean slightly as it bakes. Just like H.C. Andersen’s character Klods Hans (Clumsy Hans), who rode a goat to the royal castle and won the princess’s heart – in his own unique way.
The Taste of Adventure and Bold Choices
Klods Hans is far from your average cake. Inside, you’ll find pickled pears and salted caramel – a deep, sweet combination that awakens the senses. The cake is topped with torched meringue, adding both texture and sweetness, and finished with a dusting of gold and silver powder. This isn’t just dessert – it’s an experience to remember.
Part of Andersen Forever
The cake was created as part of Andersen Forever – Odense’s tribute to Hans Christian Andersen. Like everything in this celebration of the 150th anniversary of his death, Klods Hans is full of surprises, playfulness, and attention to detail. A magical taste experience that’s as original and unpredictable as Andersen’s own stories.
