He was born in Helsinki and died in Jokioinen. He had four children and was the grandfather of Peter Fazer. His father, Eduard Peter Fazer (originally Fatzer), was a Swiss-born furrier.

Fazer studied baking in Berlin, Paris, and Saint Petersburg before becoming a pioneer of Finnish confectionery. Together with his wife Berta he opened a French-Russian confectionery at Glogatan (Kluuvikatu) 3 in Helsinki on 17 September 1891. Later he opened a chocolate and candy factory in Punavuori.

Fazer, the company he founded, is still in existence. Many of its products have become classic. This is particularly true of the "Fazer Blue" ("Fazerin Sininen" in Finnish, "Fazer blå" in Swedish), a brand of chocolate that is often compared to salmiakki, as a candy that is a part of the Finnish national identity.

Karl Fazer was a nature lover, birdwatcher, hunter and a fisherman. He founded many natural parks in Finland.

Raspberries with chocolate is out of this world delicious!

Ok, I changed my mind. I'm topping with blueberries and raspberries.

That was delicious! I didn't think I was going to be able to finish it being so stuffed with shrimp on toast. But hells yes I ate it all! burp

I have a measuring cup and microwave oven.

I could probably make that chocolate mousse, the recipe is simple enough for my culinary skills.

if not for any other purpose than to watch everyone freak out.

@octo  

You can't really fail following the recipe. I don't have a microwave oven though so I heated the cream in a small pot and put the chocolate pieces in it, stirring while it melted. It worked really well like that too.

@octo He is the kind of man that I admire.

@octo It has to have caramel inside of it, just gotta have it.

There are so many good flavors out there, I'll try something different next time

Now Octo, chocolate moose is a difficult culinary task...have you mastered it?
