I'm not a fan of the raspberry jam filling. I think I'll try using a different type of jam next time.

This smorgastarta is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I had to substitute the pistachio filling for something else. It still turned out great!

This recipe is too complicated. I don't have the time or patience to make it.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my smorgastarta didn't turn out as good as I hoped. The crust was too dry and the filling was too runny.

This smorgastarta was absolutely delicious! The flavors of the different fillings were perfectly balanced, and the crust was flaky and buttery. I will definitely be making this again.
