description: "In the period from the 1890s until the First World War, many community meeting houses were built in North Schleswig, now Southern Jutland. Here, Danes met, celebrated, and sang together. The housewives created the cakes at home and brought them to the community centres – a trend that became a sweet kind of cake competition. The order of the cakes in the Southern Jutland Coffe Table is fixed: the stuffing cakes first, buns with butter, and the pretzels. Then come the sliced cakes, plate and mould cakes and the drier pies. Not more than halfway through yet, enter the whipped layer cakes and roulades. Finally, there are cookies, including knepkager (crunch cakes), gode råd (good advice) and ingenting (nothing).  A South Jutland Coffee Table is always a considerate mix of soft and hard cakes. A few places in Southern Jutland still offer tickets for Coffe Tables, including Gram Castle and Hohenwarte in Højer."

In the period from the 1890s until the First World War, many community meeting houses were built in North Schleswig, now Southern Jutland. Here, Danes met, celebrated, and sang together. The housewives created the cakes at home and brought them to the community centres – a trend that became a sweet kind of cake competition. The order of the cakes in the Southern Jutland Coffe Table is fixed: the stuffing cakes first, buns with butter, and the pretzels. Then come the sliced cakes, plate and mould cakes and the drier pies. Not more than halfway through yet, enter the whipped layer cakes and roulades. Finally, there are cookies, including knepkager (crunch cakes), gode råd (good advice) and ingenting (nothing).
