Danish cakes may not be as famous as the country's namesake pastry, but they're just as visually impressive.
Kransekage in Danish (or kransekake in Norwegian) is the most spectacular of them all.
It's composed of stacks of different-sized ring cakes made from egg whites, sugar and almonds, with the smallest ring on top.
In Denmark and Norway it's a traditional celebration cake -- usually for weddings or on New Year's Eve.
The rings are decorated with wavy icing and small national flags.
One of the best places to get a kransekage is Conditoriet La Glace, which claims to be the oldest confectioner in Denmark.
Most of the interior decoration and furniture in this family bakery dates back to 1870, when it first opened.
