As a Swede, I applaud you! Very nice job. I LOVE princess cake but have yet to make one, but planning to make one soon for a friend's birthday so reading up on it all over the Internet as I know it's got so many elements to it. Just a tip that I've found reading on lots of Swedish websites - when putting on the last cover of whipped cream (when you're making the dome) - make sure you put whipped cream ALL over the cake and cover it completely- including the sides. The whipped cream is there to create a barrier for the marzipan- if the marzipan gets into contact with the vanilla cream or Jam etc it will start to "sweat" which you want to avoid- don't get me wrong it will still taste nice but just won't look as nice! Just a tip for anyone who wants to give this cake a go :)
OOOHHH thank you so much for this tip! Creating a barrier makes loads of sense. When you cover a regular cake with buttercream you do the whole thing. Thank you. I must make this again soon. :)
@Shispirina This recipe doesn't have it, but some include a 3rd sponge layer, gently draped over the cream. I find that this helps, you can find many recipes including a 3rd layer that are also very delicious!
I've been dreaming of this recipe ever since I watched the European Week episode a few days ago! This turned out fantastic - lucky you for getting to eat it afterwards haha :)
Ahh this is way too out of my league at this stage haha. I'm still a rookie! Tiramisu has been the most "advanced" thing I've tried thus far so I'm working my way to this :p
+Ellie Newman You can do it! Honestly, everything I have ever baked has gone on TH-cam since last April. You should see the mess I get into... hahaha I love a good Tiramasu though. mmm
+Lori Thom Thank you, it was not easy at all. I have made it again since though, and even made mini ones! Just as tricky. th-cam.com/video/UViC6K_dLb8/w-d-xo.html
+maylien I didnt use too much, just add little bits at a time until you get the desired green colour. Adding a little at a time is the best way to control the colour.
MoriWeasel Ive since made mini ones, putting the marzipan on those was even trickier!! Hand made marzipan does taste good though, i enjoyed the left-overs. :)
+B Franco Yes, I have found out that 20g of chick pea water constitutes to 1 egg white, so you can substitute 20g of chick pea water for every egg white. It gives structure like egg whites do. Then maybe add 50-100g of soy yoghurt to replace the moisture in the egg yolks. But add this gradually to get the right consistency. I haven't tried this yet, but that is what I know is the best substitute. Hope this helps.
hehe, thanks, I have made this twice since then and STILL can't get the cake to be big enough for 3 layers. So the last time, I just made 2 cakes. cheating? not really, because whats better than one cake? MORE CAKE! haha best of luck! let me know how you get on.
Colin Starfish Today is the big day and so far so good! I have all of the parts done and will assemble it tomorrow for my daughter's 18th birthday. I'm so pleased that it's turned out well. Thanks again for the vid.
BEST OF LUCK! Im so excited to see the it. My best tip for smoothing the marzipan on is to lift folds gently and use your hand to smooth it upwards. If you smooth down it can rip. Smoothing upwards moulds it over the dome. Its the same with icing.
I'm making this for Easter this year :p they're so pretty, I thought the green plus the flour looked very... spring. if it doesn't turn out I'll just do a Victoria sandwich XD they're super easy and yummy
It will indeedy! And now I know that it may not come out PERFECT (the hole in the middle) but it still looks great :3 I shall keep watching for them ^_^
+Colin Starfish I made this today. The jam began to ooze out the sides whilst I was putting the cream. Do you think it was because it was too warm in my house? 64 degrees. I left the jam in the fridge to cool for at least an hour.
+Ruby Chung the only thing I can think is it wasnt set enough. Did it become like a jelly? You can test if it is ready by using a chilled plate. I have made a jam tutorial before, bear with it, its in one of my first ever videos. It shows you what to look for. th-cam.com/video/wUDyMzTdYKo/w-d-xo.htmlm27s
Casondra Starseed this was the first time I ever made it, trust me, you will be fine! The hardest part for me was getting 3 layers from the sponge.... and then putting the marzipan on. Watch this space for mini Prinsesstårta cakes!

Hmm alright, I very well may then! Tiramisu is the love of my life haha. Oh, and I only just discovered your channel but I love it! :D
+Ellie Newman aww thank you. Anything you would like me to bake?
Was trying to find the episode where they made this but found your channel instead! ^.^ I loved watching it, and have subscribed for more!
awww thanks!! Hope you enjoy :)
Well done! That is NOT easy, and most people don't even have the guts to attempt a Swedish Princess Cake. I applaud you, sir.
+Lori Thom Thank you, it was not easy at all. I have made it again since though, and even made mini ones! Just as tricky. th-cam.com/video/UViC6K_dLb8/w-d-xo.html
That looks great! I think they are the most pretty cakes ever.
thank you!!! They are really pretty, especially when cut open so you can see all the layers. mmmm
I love this! Just watched the epi, and enjoyed your take. Subbing with bakery glee.
+ngatiramona Aww thank you :)
Thank You so much Colin,you made it seem much simpler , I'll try to do step by step following your tips
Sueli Manhani You are very welcome. Let me know how you get on. :)
I love the way you film your videos 😜
+Angélica Aww thank you Angélica, thats really nice to hear.
You did an Excellent job ! Kudos to you !
+maylien Thank you! It was tricky, but SO fun to make.
+Colin Starfish How much of the green gell coloring did you use? Some cakes I've seen are just too strong of a green.
+maylien I didnt use too much, just add little bits at a time until you get the desired green colour. Adding a little at a time is the best way to control the colour.
+Colin Starfish Thanks.
Now I just need the special occasion to make this!
+maylien Have a dinner party, someone brings an appetiser, some others bring main courses and you make the dessert. Like a pot luck!
Geezus....I remember making my own marzipan by hand....it was a very hard day, but that cake was the best cake I ever ate...lololol ♡
@^@ mine had a small hole too.
MoriWeasel Ive since made mini ones, putting the marzipan on those was even trickier!! Hand made marzipan does taste good though, i enjoyed the left-overs. :)
Great video 😀😋
thank you
Is there a way to make the marzipan without raw eggs?
+B Franco Yes, I have found out that 20g of chick pea water constitutes to 1 egg white, so you can substitute 20g of chick pea water for every egg white. It gives structure like egg whites do. Then maybe add 50-100g of soy yoghurt to replace the moisture in the egg yolks. But add this gradually to get the right consistency. I haven't tried this yet, but that is what I know is the best substitute. Hope this helps.
You could use sugar syrup instead of dry sugar. It will give the glue texture eggs would add to the texture.
+Roberto Aguiar ooooh great idea! thanks.
+Colin Starfish you just have to take care not to be too wet or too sweet.
I was terrified for you, while I was watching. Thanks for the vid, cuz I'm going to make this this year!
