A Princess Cake Workshop for Spring with Ingrid Schatz of Axelsdotter Bakery
Six Dutchess in the Kitchen | Live, Hands-On Virtual Class
Taught by Ingrid Schatz, hosted by Six Dutchess Farm, on Zoom.
Welcome to the Princess Cake workshop. Princess cakes have their origin in Scandinavia, where it is said that the pastry chef for three Swedish princesses created the cake, initially called Gröntårta or green cake. When the chef released their cookbook, called the Princesses Cookbook, the cake inevitably became associated with its royal origins.
It's hard not to notice this Nordic beauty with her signature seafoam green Marzipan-robed dome, and three soft, delicate layers of sponge cake, filled with red berry jam and pastry cream. And at the crest, a towering mound of fluffy, whipped cream, like a crown of sweet glory befitting any true princess. It really, truly is the ultimate celebration cake, and, we have the perfect person to teach you how to make it.
In 2-hour virtual workshop, Ingrid will teach you how to make a traditional Swedish Princess cake of your own, and you'll learn how to take the basic structure and use it as a springboard for new seasonal varieties. Think chocolate, lemon, raspberry - the whole world of food is yours!
Here is our menu for the class:
Your choice of a Traditional Princess Cake with Marzipan, Pastry Cream and Sponge Cake
OR
A special seasonal strawberry variety to welcome spring
You’ll receive recipes for both!
This class will be limited to 15 registrants, first-come, first-served.
