Kagemand

Kagemand is a Danish cake shaped like a girl or boy[1] which is traditionally eaten at birthdays and anniversaries.[2][1]

The cake is usually made with either a soft yeast dough topped with brown sugar or a Danish pastry dough topped with icing glacé. In any case, the cake is decorated with candy and festive Danish flags.
