I will be mother of the groom.

My husband is 1/2 Danish, and when we got married, he asked an aunt to make a kronsekake, or Danish wedding cake.  She did and the result was lovely.
Now that my son is engaged, I tried my hand at making a kronsekake of my own. (We pronounce this word as kon' see kie.)  The recipe is tasty, using mostly egg yolks, confectioner's sugar, lots of flour and almond paste.  I had to use special forms to create the 18 separate rings, but I was quite pleased with the effort.
