The term flødekager encompasses a wide group of traditional Danish cream cakes that are usually small in size and elegantly decorated. They mainly consist of a sponge, shortcrust, or puff pastry base that is coupled with creamy fillings and various toppings.

Even though they come in a seemingly endless number of flavors and combinations of ingredients, they commonly incorporate whipped cream, chocolate, citrus, fruits, or marzipan. Cream cakes are a staple in numerous pâtisseries across the country and may be enjoyed as common, everyday desserts or festive treats.
