Cinnamon Roll Day[1] or Cinnamon Bun Day[2][3][4] (Swedish: kanelbullens dag, Finnish: korvapuustipäivä) falls on 4 October each year.[5] It is an annual theme day created for marketing purposes in Sweden and Finland that was instituted in 1999 by Kaeth Gardestedt.[6] At the time, she was a project manager for Home Baking Council (Hembakningsrådet) which was historically a trade group supported by yeast, flour, sugar, and margarine manufacturers and is now supported by the Dansukker brand of sugar.[7]
