Korena of Korena in the Kitchen was our May Daring Bakers’ host and she delighted us with this beautiful Swedish Prinsesstårta!
I can't believe I made such a pretty cake! I've seen pictures of the Swedish Princess Cake before and wanted to try it so this recipe was a welcome surprise. I actually made it for Mother's Day thinking I would shock everyone with the beauty and flavor of this masterpiece. Unfortunately due to the mound of whipped cream and my mother's sensitive digestive tract, I guess you could even say I gave her a stomach ache for Mother's Day. The cake was meant to be fit for a princess but alas, we all can't have such extravagance in our diets.
Still, it was a beautiful and fun cake to make. I ate far more of it than I should have, which is a real problem in doing these challenges. I do enjoy getting ideas and the desire to change things around once I've tried something like this. Next time I would prefer more cake to whipped cream, and maybe a rectangle shape over a dome.
Truly, a very pretty cake
ReplyDeleteYour cake is beautiful! Sorry to hear it gave your mom a stomach ache :S I hope you do try again - a rectangular shape would be very cool! Thanks for baking with me this month :)
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear it didn't go down too well with your mother's digestion. It looks great though!
ReplyDeleteI made my cake for Mother's day too, but it was so big and rich that we ate only 1/4 of it amongst the three of us. Another 1/4 went to the neighbours and about a dozen of my co-workers helped clearing the remaining half the next day. :-) It was a cake fit for a whole princess's court.
