WHEN OPERA MEETS CAKE: BAKING A TOSCAKAKA & SEEING TOSCA AT FOLKOPERAN

❓ What happens when Puccini’s Tosca inspires a vegan cake, a night at the opera, and a celebration with friends?

This vlog is a story of theatre, cake, friendship, and music—woven together on a glittering evening at FOLKOPERAN in Stockholm 🎭. My friend Christian, dresser on Tosca, invited me to a preview performance. And because Tosca is not only one of the most passionate operas in history but also lends its name to Sweden’s beloved Toscakaka (a sponge crowned with almond caramel glaze), I baked one as a thank-you gift 🍰✨.


Before the opera, Magnus and I met at BAR CENTRAL 🍷—a chic spot where glasses sparkle and secrets are shared. He had big news: he passed his motorcycle theory test 🏍️📚! We toasted to his success, to friendship, to opera. Outside the theatre, we met Martin 🌟, and then the night truly began.

Inside, the drama unfolded. Tosca tells the story of love, sacrifice, and betrayal: the fiery singer Tosca, her beloved Cavaradossi, and the menacing Scarpia. With arias that burn like fire and orchestral surges that shake the soul, this opera has captivated audiences since 1900. And at Folkoperan, every note was alive—raw, emotional, unforgettable 🎶🔥.

But this video is not just about opera—it’s about the ritual around it. The cake baked in gratitude. The hurried dash to Bar Central. The laughter with friends on a Södermalm street corner. It’s a reminder that theatre is not only what happens on stage—it’s what surrounds it.


💡 What you’ll find here:
– A vegan recipe for Toscakaka, inspired by Puccini’s masterpiece.
– A slice of Stockholm’s theatre scene.
– A glimpse of friendship, gratitude, and celebration.

👉 Subscribe for more theatre adventures, vegan recipes, and vlogs from my everyday life. Like this video if you’ve ever turned gratitude into something creative, and share in the comments: what’s the most memorable thank-you gift you’ve ever given or received?

Because in the end, darling, life is meant to be lived like opera: bold, passionate, and full of surprises.

WHEN OPERA MEETS CAKE: BAKING A VEGAN TOSCAKAKA FOR FOLKOPERAN’S TOSCA

❓ What happens when Puccini’s Tosca collides with a Swedish almond cake? You get drama in the kitchen, laughter with friends, and a dessert as unforgettable as an aria.

Tomorrow I will attend a preview of TOSCA at FOLKOPERAN in Stockholm 🎭—a city where art hums from every cobblestone. My friend, dresser on Tosca, gifted me this ticket, and I wanted to return the gesture with something bold, charming, and delicious. The answer? A Toscakaka. Vegan, naturally. A cake without milk or eggs, but filled with style, story, and sweetness.


✨ But life is never without a twist. Just as I’m gathering ingredients, my phone buzzes—Martin wants to join! Suddenly the kitchen transforms into a stage. There’s tidying in a frenzy 🧹, a grocery dash down Södermalm streets 🛒, and then the curtain rises: two friends baking with the intensity of opera singers belting at full volume 🎶.

The recipe itself is classic theatre:
– The first act: a soft sponge, tender and golden 🍰.
– The second act: a luscious almond caramel glaze, shimmering like stage lights 🌟.
– The finale: a cake baked to perfection, applause-worthy and ready for gifting 👏.


This isn’t just baking—it’s performance. It’s friendship in every stir, comedy in every spill, and gratitude baked into every crumb. Whether you’re a theatre lover, a vegan foodie, or someone who knows the joy of thanking a friend with cake, this story will resonate.

💡 You’ll learn how to make the cake step by step, how to transform simple ingredients into a glamorous masterpiece, and how even the smallest kitchen can host the grandest of operas.

👉 If you love theatre, baking, or both—subscribe now. Like this video if you’ve ever mixed friendship with flour, and comment with the most creative way you’ve ever said “thank you.”

Because in the end, darling, life is always better when it’s a little bit dramatic.

STOCKHOLM VLOG: FROM MIDSOMMARKRANSEN TO A BOAT PARTY WITH FRIENDS 🍺🐶☀️

Take a scenic summer ride through Stockholm, from Midsommarkransen to Södermalm, with this cozy, funny, and slightly chaotic daily vlog! In today’s video, I document my full day as a content creator, costume supervisor, and vlogger.

MORNING CREATOR ROUTINE ☕💻
My day begins like clockwork: editing yesterday’s Instagram Stories for TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Reels. I upload today’s vlog and carefully craft a searchable, scroll-stopping description using trending and long-tail keywords.

Then comes my digital ritual—posting the oldest photo on my iPhone 📸 and deleting it. It keeps my feed nostalgic and my phone clutter-free 🕰️🗑️ Minimalism meets memory lane 💾✨

BIKING TO THE ATELIER 🚴‍♂️🧵



Outfit on, camera charged—I bike to my friend Christian’s tailoring studio. He and I used to work together on TOOTSIE and SÅ SOM I HIMMELEN. He now works at FOLKOPERAN as a dresser and tailor. Theatre friendships never fade, they just shift venues 🎭🧵👞

PATIO PARTY ON THE MAINLAND 🌭🍺
We’re invited to a spontaneous backyard hangout with our friends Majsan and Stickan. It’s suddenly a Swedish summer day—the warm kind where everyone drops everything to enjoy the sun ☀️🌿

We take a boat to reach their house on the mainland 🚤, and we’re welcomed by their dog Åke 🐶, a patio feast of hot dogs (vegan for me 🌭🌱), and a surprise: Limoncello in prosecco 🍋🥂. A sparkling revelation!

COMING UP…
Next time we’ll be partying again—this time at Christian’s place on Söder 🍷🎉. There’s never a dull moment when theatre people gather, even when there’s no script.


ABOUT ME
I live in Midsommarkransen, Stockholm and work as a costume supervisor at a musical theatre. I upload daily vlogs that blend theatre, vegan cooking, fashion, nostalgia, and content creator routines. Every day I also post the oldest picture on my iPhone and delete it to stay creatively grounded.

Join me if you love:
• Daily behind-the-scenes life
• Theatre and costume design
• Secondhand fashion and slow style
• Vegan food ideas
• Stockholm life from a local’s POV
• Minimalist digital rituals
• Feel-good routines and cozy edits

**What if rooftop drinks were always this perfect?** 🌆🍸


This is the oldest photo on my phone, taken on July 12, 2024, at **Pelago**, a stunning rooftop bar near Slussen in Stockholm. Pelago is all about stylish vibes, great cocktails, and unbeatable views over the city. 🌅🍹 Sitting high above the hustle and bustle, it’s a perfect spot to unwind and take in the skyline.  


Slussen, one of Stockholm’s key transit hubs, connects the old town with Södermalm and offers panoramic views over Lake Mälaren and the Baltic Sea. The area is constantly evolving, but its charm remains timeless. 🏙️💙  

In the photo, I’m with my friend **Christian**, and the island of **Södermalm** stretches behind us. I’m wearing a **black knitted sleeveless top**, full of tiny artistic holes, while Christian sports a **black T-shirt with a self-designed print—a drawing of himself in white**. He’s got style and creativity! 🎨👕  

Originally, I had planned a cozy dinner at my place with Christian and our friend Majsan, but schedules didn’t align. No problem—I just met them separately! 🍽️🥂 Flexibility is key in friendships, right?  

Christian and I go way back—we met almost when I started working as a **dresser**. We’ve only worked together off and on for the past **five or six years**, but we’ve kept our bond strong. This moment on the rooftop, with the city as our backdrop, felt like the perfect way to catch up. 🖤✨  

What’s your go-to rooftop bar or favorite city view? Let’s swap recommendations! 🌍💬
