That is a mistranslation. It wasn't cinnamon buns, it was hetvägg, a type of cardamom bun swimming in sweetened hot milk/cream.

14 cinnamon buns would be rookie numbers
Yes, and to add: hetvägg is the precursor to the modern semla, which is probably pretty much a national dish here now.
The traditional hetvägg is equally if not more delicious though, although quite a bit more involved to make.
They are really good. Just make sure the cardamom is mixed in well.
They're amazing. I can definitely believe someone dying after eating 14 of them in one sitting though. I can barely get through one before I just can't eat anymore.
and that you're not a king of sweden
I make sure of that every morning, just to be on the safe side.
what if you are a queen of sweden?
Do you suppose he was trying to be the King of Sweets, too?
Or the king of The Sweet?
A time-traveler, too? At that mass? Oofda.
Didn't you know? All kings are time travelers. ESPECIALLY the Swedish ones.
Ohhh, that's what No Kings is really about? That makes so much sense now.
Yeah, lots of anti time travel sentiment in the US population.
They have a hard enough time denying the details of their own history WITHOUT people just going to see for themselves!
(For the joke to work, please pretend that the parties are reversed)
I should've known you, of all characters'd be familiar with atypical time manipulation. You've an ironic anachronism (separated by centuries, no less) as your whole username, FFS. 😋
I've been called much worse 😁
For my encore, I'll juggle the simultaneous beliefs in pacifism, that collective punishment is wrong, and that the guillotine for all billionaires is a moral imperative😉
Joking aside, though, my username is actually quite apt: I'm a big bearded guy from Denmark and I'm also a far left anti-authoritarian pacifist (with certain exceptions to the rule such as the above one) 🤷🏻
Heterosexual/hot wall? 🤔
Hetero pussy
A much sought after delicacy
Second only to the bi version. 🤌🏼

Given some cinnamon buns I've had in in my life, they could have just as well been heated drywall. ;)
