Our treasured member, Roskilde,
has found this Facebook post by the chef Claus Meyer, who was baking with Mary:

And this is his account in his typical style:
Dear friends,
The day before yesterday I went to North Festival in New York, where I along with my head-baker, Rhonda Crosson was to do a baking-workshop for children.
Crown Princess Mary dropped by and I received her in the festival area on Charles Street in West Village together with the festival manager Kalle and the Danish Minister for Foodstuff, Eva Kjer Hansen.
We walked along the stands together and in to the children who were preparing to roll out soft dough and knead remonce.
The Crown Princess, who through the visit was incredibly present and dedicated, was about to look at the children, but suddenly it was as if a Tasmanian Devil possessed into her. She suddenly told me that contrary to all plans she would actually like to roll out the soft dough.
Holy moly I thought. There wasn't even a chair for her, because the tables were designed for children. I asked: "Your Royal Highness, are you (formal you) sure you want dough and flour on your hands"? "Yes, I am", she replied resolutely, "It's been way too lomg since I rolled out dough".
She rolled like a pro, with an enormous surplus, while she chatted with children on both sides.
Crown Princess Mary soon got to the remonce. The butter was too hard to knead with the tools at hand so what to do now.
With thirty cameras in front of her the Crown Princess either had to quit halfway through the project, like most would have done or mess up her hands and nails in butter, granulated sugar and cinnamon.
Fortunately I spotted out of the corner of my eye what was going on and I hurried to ask her if I could help her with the remonce, please, so that it became a team-job. She thought that was a good idea. A short while later we had folded together the dough, rolled it out again and was working on producing the finest twirls.
On the way out I asked whether it had been a good experience. Mary replied legendary short: (In English) "Oh, yes, very nice to try it... (Danish) It was KONGE = KING" (Slang for great).
I was completely taken aback over that reply. But I couldn't believe what I just heard, so I asked the Crown Princess is she would mind repeating what she just said, to which she replied (in English): "Oh Yes, it would be nice to try it with... perhaps honey".
(Konge and honey does sound somewhat similar).
