Yes, dammsugare means "vacuum cleaner." It's a cake roll wrapped in bright green marzipan with both ends dipped in chocolate, and it looks like the attachment on an old-fashioned vacuum. The story goes that bakers first made them from swept-up cake crumbs, which may or may not be true but is too good not to repeat. You'll also hear it called a punschrulle, after the Swedish punsch liqueur that flavours the filling.
I paired it with a teal teapot, tea bags dangling, and a red-striped cup and saucer on warm orange. It's for people who take their tea seriously and their pastry names less so.
It's a great conversation starter. Someone will always ask what it's called.
