Comments on: Smörgåstårta-Swedish Sandwich cake http://www.notquitenigella.com/2007/09/23/smorgastarta-swedish-sandwich-cake/ The slightly eccentric eating and cooking adventures of a Sydney girl who loves cakes, cooking, Nigella Lawson and eating. She eats, breathes and dreams food and indeed will never get cable TV as she'd quit working and watch the Food Channel all day long.

I manage to get to your page when I was looking for inspiration to decorate my smörgåstårta. I'm Swedish and I've done more cakes then I can count in my life. I was very supriced that I would end up here. Anyway, wile I'm still here I though I could give you all a tip or two how to make your smörgåstårta extra Swedish (and off course extra GOOD). =) I always make a basic paste witch I have in each layer and around the cake. It makes it more moist. The paste contains; 2 parts cream cheese, 1 part mayonnaise, 1½ parts créam fraiche, a dash of lemon juice, salt and black pepper. I have 3 layers with 2 different fillings. My tip is not to mix to much, stick with either meat, fish and shellfish or vegetarian. Example: Layer 1 and 3; Mix some of the basic paste with hard boiled chopped eggs, chopped red onion and fresh grind black pepper. Layer 2; Mix some of the basic paste with chopped shellfish, rum and finely chopped dill. Decorate with rum, scrimps, cheese, salad leafs, vegetable and lots of fresh fruit (like strawberry, passion fruit and physalis). ENJOY !! Hi.
