Swedish Princess Cakes & Dome Cakes

Swedish princess cakes via Martha Stewart Wedding left and by Peggy Porschen right

Peggy Porschen’s Boutique Baking is credited with bringing the traditional Swedish Princess Cake to the fore of fashionable baking.  The dome-shaped cake is a traditional special occasion cake in its native Scandinavia and got its name from originally being used as wedding standby cake.  It’s traditionally covered in green marzipan (if any body knows why, please let us know!) but the cake style has been re-interpreted by celebrity bakers in various different shades.

Martha Stewart created a trio of white Swedish Princess cakes decorated with cherry blossoms for the wedding display above left, while Peggy Porschen has re-invented the dome-shaped cake in various vintage hues, perfect as a dinner party centrepiece, above right. (Swedish Princess cakes below via Pinterest.)

To make your own dome-shaped beauty, you’ll find the recipe here for the Swedish princess cake and you can buy dome-shaped cake pans online here. (You can use the cake pans again for football/ basketball cakes which we’ll be featuring at a later date.)
