Back in the olden days, there was a Swedish traditional dessert that was actually called a princess cake. It would be a work of art, a total masterpiece. It would have layers of pastry cream with rich Marzipan frosting. The ingredients could also be easily altered.
To make a princess cake, usually there are four main ingredients: frosting, the cake, cream, and jam. Usually the cake is layered with jam, then cream, then a layer of cake, and so on. Then, of course the cake is decorated with piping, flowers, and ornaments.
Different flavors of jam could be rotated and even the cream could be changed out to whipped cream and whipped frosting. The shape of the princess cake is usually a large round cake or even a log.
Now in modern times princess cakes are made as special order. The princess cake styles used are more commonly known as Disney princesses. If a little girl loves Jasmine or Ariel or a non-Disney princess like Barbie or a million other movie or television characters, she can go crazy with ideas.
The princess cake is traditionally made round as her whole body, including her dress in elaborate colors, will be actually made and baked this way. It’s a true work of art! There can be a sheet cake with a princess and an entire scene out of one the little girl’s favorite movies or shows.
If there were any food allergies to peanuts, coconut, anything at all, the beauty of it is a princess cake can be made to fit the little princess that needs this special cake. She could choose yummy strawberry jam with cream cheese frosting and even place real strawberries to accent her dress. She can choose her favorite colors instead of the traditional princess colors that her favorite character comes with.
One other very important item in making a princess cake is the versatility of choosing the princesses ethnicity. If she is Spanish, she can make a princess cake with a Spanish flair or even turn it into an American pop teenage princess cake with a microphone.
There are so many styles of princess cakes to choose from. It can take weeks and even months of planning. But, when the design has been decided upon along with colors, flavors, and which princess to choose from, it will be so worth the wait!
