Princess Cake
Our chef chose to make it pink with Christmas Decorations because that is the season now.
Generally the princess cake is pale green with a white rose in the center. Often times it is a real rose.
HistoryThe elaborately decorated princess cake is traditional in Sweden for a girl's sixteenth birthday.
Because it is a complex cake with several different components, the princess cake is a bakery specialty, but the adventurous home baker can make one by following this recipe from Gayle and Joe Ortiz's The Village Baker's Wife. It is made with a basic genoise, a French butter sponge cake. Gayle points out that although this cake has many steps, all of the components can be made ahead of time and the cake assembled on the day of the celebration.
This lovely cake calls for care in preparation. Plan your baking and assembling steps in advance and the result is a gorgeous, delicious cake.
