Colossus Bread in Belmont Shore will host a pop-up event with Sweden’s first three-Michelin star pastry chef, and Long Beach native, Cecilia Tolone on Tuesday, Feb. 13.<\/p>\n

Tolone, who now lives and works in Stockholm, Sweden, is returning to her hometown to bake semlor, a traditional Swedish sweet bun flavored with cardamom, a sweet almond paste and freshly whipped cream.<\/p>\n

“They have been eaten for Fat Tuesday (Mardi Gras in French, Fettisdagen in Swedish) for centuries,” Tolone said in a statement. “They are now so popular in Sweden that the “semla season” stretches from the beginning of January to almost Easter.”<\/p>\n

From 7 a.m. to noon, Tolone will be baking the semlor at Colossus Bread’s popular Second Street location. Pre-orders for boxes of four are available here<\/a>. Orders will be cut off two days before the event, or when sold out.<\/p>\n

Individual semlor will be available on a first come, first serve basis the day of.<\/p>\n

This is the second year Colossus Bread will host Tolone, who has decades of baking experience. Currently, she works as a recipe developer and baker in Stockholm, Sweden.<\/p>\n

In 2016, a 22-year-old Tolone moved to Sweden, where she worked her way up to pastry chef at Frantz\u00e9n<\/a>, ranked sixth on the World’s 50 Best Restaurants list and Sweden’s first and only three-Michelin star restaurant.<\/p>\n

Before moving out of the country, Tolone worked in restaurants and bakeries in the Bay Area, including The French Laundry in Yountville.<\/p>\n
