Boss Snail

You can just look at a direktørsnegl and understand why it’s one of Lagkagehuset’s best-selling pastries. This frosted spiral bun is chocolate’s unequivocal response to the cinnamon roll. Why, exactly, it’s called a “boss snail” is a bit of mystery, but Lars believes that the name evolved from the pastry’s previous moniker. “It [used to be] called højsnegl or “tall snail” because it was a bit more classy [than a regular cinnamon bun]… like a top hat.”
