#wordoftheday “Princess cake” is as Swedish as it gets in the sweets department. Comprising layers of yellow sponge cake lined with jam and vanilla custard, and then finished off with a heavy topping of whipped cream, the cake is carefully sealed with a thin layer of sugary sweet marzipan. The marzipan comes in a variety of colours –yellow for Easter, red at Christmas, orange for Halloween and white for weddings. Green all other days of the year. We give you princess cake today on July 14 – Crown Princess Victoria’s birthday. Now 40 years young! 🎉👑 Photo: Jakob Fridholm/imagebank. Sweden.se
