Ever since Bard Eker made his comment about Marzipan Cake, there’s been a strange fascination with cakes as a fringe element of this whole Saab story. Strange but true.
There was a prominent cake element to the Saab Support Convoys, too. Here’s a selection for you. Click to enlarge (unfortunately, I can’t make it click-n-eat)
UPDATE – one more from the Production Technology Center at University West, Trollhattan….
From Bulgaria….
From Sweden, part 1
From Sweden, part 2
From England….
From right here in Australia!
I’m not sure of the origins of this one….
A friend in Greece named Ilias had a birthday recently…..
And Michi’s daughter Sofia made a couple of special Saab cakes, too.
——
Despite the fact that they didn’t get to close the Saab deal, I hope Bard Eker has managed to get some marzipan cake in celebration of Saab’s survival. He and his friends played a large part in it.
Thanks to all for the cake photos and if I’ve missed yours, then please accept my apologies. I did try a thorough search prior to posting.

As a retro car…… no….. They seem to want to make it a city car. A retro saab 9-2 or better yet a retro 99 would be my preference.
However I think bringing back the Sonett as a direct competitor to the Mazda miata would not only be feasible but a great idea as well. Offer it in a hatch with a reference to the lines of the 99/900 or a convertible with a choice of a small torquey turbo four flex fuel or a turbo diesel would sell it for me.
i ment 92 not 9-2
I like the last picture of the cakes.
Sweet
A celebration is not a celebration without a cake. A taste of the new Saab life.
Sweet!
The old Saabs was never thought to be “retro”… The future ones should
Yummy…. the cakes look wonderful, almost a shame to eat them! But…. nice to have the cake and eat it too!

Just wondering how many SAAB cakes will be consumed these coming days, moreso after the agreement has been signed between GM and SAAB SPYKER?

Thank you, great memory for Sofia and me.
