What is a Princess Cake?
A princess cake is a traditional Swedish dessert which consists of layers of cake covered in pastry cream and a rich marzipan frosting. When well crafted, a princess cake looks very elegant, and it can be rather tasty as well, especially when eaten on the day it is made. Making one certainly requires some preparation, but it can be well worth it, since the cake presents so beautifully. The cake is also surprisingly versatile, because while it is carefully defined, each ingredient can be individually altered for a unique look and flavor.
