Being the way that I am i.e. what some people would politely call “offbeat” or “quirky”, means that I’m not often the first choice for some things. I was always the last one picked on a sports team and lord knows I never expected to be asked to do baby sitting. After all I love Halloween and last week tried to buy a Taxidermied Owl. Not exactly babysitting or Godmother material – and I didn’t think that I really wanted the role. But when my good friend from High School Lulu called me asked me to be the Godmother to her new baby Evie I squealed with delight and twittered and facebooked about it for all to hear. I was chuffed! She was entrusting me with the spiritual upbringing of her child?
I checked with her “Are you sure? You know that I’m a bit weird right?” and Lulu simply laughed. She’s known me since we were 12 years old and we both had to wear our ugly brown and gold Sydney Girls High School uniforms – a uniform that had everyone dubbed ‘Brown Cows’, how flattering! “We just want you to be you” she said which made me feel so warm and gooey inside. I in turn promised to take her to afternoon tea, buy her Baby Dior dresses and not take her to see Bruno.

As they live in the Blue Mountains, we see them a few times a year and every visit is met with excitement. They were coming over for morning tea and this was the second time I’d be meeting my goddaughter Evie. She’s absolutely adorable and smiles non stop with nary a grump or a whimper. She’s also an avid foodie who Lulu says is dying to try proper food. We witness her tiny hands grabbing for our adult food and her eyes following the food from our spoons to our mouths and in a bizarre shift paradigm I’ve taken to claiming this as my contribution to Evie despite me not having a thing to do with her genetics.
Evie with her eyes on the food
Liss introduced me to this darling cookbook by Swedish American cookbook writer Leila Lindholm called A Piece of Cake where she makes a popular Swedish cake called Princess Torte. I remember trying this cake at Ikea and thinking that it would have been my dream cake as a child. All I wanted was a sponge cake filled with jam and cream and topped with pink icing and some years I even got one. It’s a lovely cake and quite soft and moreish in texture. Somehow too, it also freezes well as I learnt from Ikea as their version is sold frozen. Buying a sponge cake is a perfectly legal manuveur and is very much encouraged if you don’t have the time. You can whip one up ahead of time and should you accidentally forget your Princesses’ birthday you can dip into your deep freeze for that special Princess cake. And the cake also works wonders for grown up princesses too.
So tell me Dear Reader, what cake did you request for your birthday growing up or now?
A mere minute after she put her little paw in my slice of cake 
Princess Torte
- 1 double layer sponge cake (bought or see recipe here)
- 1 lot of creme patisserie (see below)
- 150g raspberry jam
- 600ml pure cream
- 1/4 cup icing sugar
- 500grams marzipan
- pink food colouring gel
- Sugar flowers
- Icing pen
- sugar pearls
- 1 tablespoon icing sugar to dust
1. Make the creme patisserie and cool. Whip the cream with icing sugar until stiff and keep in the fridge until needed. Cut each of the sponge halves in half horizontally so that there are four rounds.-I only used 3 out of the 4 rounds.
2. Spread two of the rounds with the raspberry jam and fill a piping bag fitted with a plain nozzle with the creme patisserie. Pipe two circles of creme patisserie around the edge of one of the rounds(this acts as a border to prevent the creme from leaking out of the edges) . Place one round on your serving plate and fill in the centre with whipped cream and using an offset spatula, smooth out. Place the second round on top of this and pipe two borders around the edge on this round too and create a dome using the stiff whipped cream. Place the last sponge layer on top and shape the dome carefully. Place the cake in the fridge while you do the marzipan.
3. Tint the marzipan with the pink colouring gel and knead until it is completely tinted and there are no streaks. Shape into a disc shape. Dust a clean surface with icing sugar or cornflour and roll out the marzipan large enough to cover the whole dome. I specify 500grams of marzipan but you will only use about 400grams of it but I find it much easier to roll out more and then cut off the excess. Carefully lift it on the back of the rolling pin and lift drape it over the dome. Trim the edges and tuck any excess under the cake. Dust the top with some icing sugar and decorate with sugar flowers. Draw a circle in icing around the cake and lines between the flowers and affix sugar pearls on top.
Creme Patisserie
- 1 large egg, plus 1 egg yolk
- 1 oz (25 g) caster sugar
- 7 fl oz (200 ml) whole milk
- ¾ oz (20 g) plain flour
- ¾ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1. To make the pastry cream, break the egg into a medium-sized mixing bowl, then add the egg yolk and sugar. Next, put the milk on to warm over a gentle heat while you whisk the eggs and sugar together until the mixture becomes thickened and creamy – about 1 minute with an electric hand whisk on the first speed. Then sift in the flour and whisk that in.
2. Now turn the heat up to bring the milk to boiling point and then whisk the milk into the egg mixture. After that return the whole lot to the pan and continue to whisk, this time with a balloon whisk, over a medium heat until the mixture becomes very thick – keep the whisk going all the time because the mixture can catch very easily if you don’t. As soon as a bubble on the surface bursts, remove the sauce from the heat and quickly pour it into a bowl, then stir in the vanilla extract.

I love this cake! I made a similar cake last year for Finland’s Independence Day. They even sell it at IKEA but homemade is always best, of course!
I don’t think you’re weird at all. And I love that torte!
Omg, it looks so beautiful! I love this Swedish cake!
Cheers,
Rosa
I am as equally impressed with your gorgeous cake and the fact that Ikea in Australia sells frozen cakes! Just another item to add to my to-do list for my fall trip (LOL).
While I can certainly understand why a little princess should have pink marcipan, I must tell you that in Sweden princess tortes are always covered in bright green marcipan. They are that common here that you can even buy pre-rolled, green discs of marcipan in the supermarkets (as well as ready-made cakes of course!).
My poppet will certainly love this cake.
awesome, lovely people and a lovely cake, just fabuloua!
Perfect for a princess! Well done!
If I was in any way near a point in my life where I might have a baby, I too would want a super fun and delicious-food-making godmother like you for my child!
I cant really remember requesting particular cakes – though I think for my 13th birthday I asked for Mum’s Poppyseed Loaf cake.
Actually, I know for sure I didn’t even have any cake for my birthday last year, and not the year before either as I was overseas…
How cute! the cake and the cute kids! This princess cake looks delicious and romantic !
Goodness lady, that is one amazing cake… How lucky to be the little girl that gets it!! I would have loved it for my birthday young or old!!
A delightfully pink pricees torte…loving it !!!!
She is the most adorable little thing in our side of the world!!!!! That last photo of her smiling melts my heart Lorraine – she’s just gorgeous! As gorgeous as this cake – anything pink and sweet with flowers is always a cake dream come true for little girls!
What a precious little face! Any cake that has creme patisserie and marzipan sounds fabulous to me.
What cute little girls. Evie I lucky to have you as a godmother. All those cooking lessons and shopping sprees. The Princess torte is gorgeous. All that cream and jam. Yum
OMW……Pretty in Pink. Now I’m so confused what cake exactly to make for my daughters and when…as they only have birthdays once a year! Lovely and the girls are super cute!
Fiddle-dee-dee you will be a FABULOUS godmother!! You know I used to have the exact same school uniforms sans the yellow stripe on the school jumper! Yes, so attractive.
The cake looks like it was well and truly apppreciated – look at those gorgeous faces!
Lovely to see the Leila Lindholm recipe come to life, I just ADORE the book, it’s very dear to me!
(psst found it on fishpond) http://www.fishpond.com.au/Books/Cooking,_Food_Drink/Baking/Cakes/9781847734457/?cf=3&rid=1721358960&i=2&keywords=leila+lindholm
aww Evie is too cute
I love that pic of her eye-ing off the cake!
You bought her baby Dior? You are a star darling, not weird! The cake is just another example of that.
Growing up we would always have ice cream cakes. I simply adore them but they are almost impossible to find here in the UK. Just thinking about those cakes is making me smile.
*kisses* HH
Awwww – adorable littlies and delectable cake. What more could you want in a post?
Yummy, I have always loved this cake.And yours is so pretty!And the tortes I have known have been covered in green marzipan like said in the above comment,but the pink one is so pretty!
BEAUTIFUL cake!!! So very pretty. As a child, & indeed even now, I always request my mother’s lighter than air chocolate sponge & creamy dreamy chocolate frosting.
Gorgeous!
Awwwww! These are my favourite type of posts – pretty cakes with pretty girls. I have often wanted to make a princess cake and never gotten around to it (first saw one on Anne’s Food). Yours is just gorgeous. As a child, I always wanted the Dolly Varden or an icecream cake.
Cakes at IKEA. Well now Ive heard everything! I’m one of those people that thinks IKEA is just a furniture place!
Oh! I absolutely adore Princess Torte, every time that I see in a bakery I have to try it
…thanks for the recipe, looks gorgeous!
what a cute baby she is…
the cake is gorgeous… I saw a similar recipe one time, and I add it to my to do list.. The list is getting longer every time…
Congratulation on her Christening
Squeee!!! So cute. That last picture with her head in your hand is adorable. She looks like a little cupie doll <3
That cake IS such a girly cake. My favourite cake as a little girl was from one of those Woman's Day cook books. The ones where you stick a Barbie in the middle and she has a big pouffy dress that is the actual cake.
Also a cake made in the shape of a cot where my favourite dolly would lie in it.
Lucky my mum had talent and patience.
omg she is adorable in that pic titled “evie smile!”
I feel rather mean saying something a bit negative , because I enjoy your blog immensely and never miss reading it ,but this is one of my bugbears. It is “creme patissier” ie pastrycook’s cream , not “patisserie “.Please forgive an old pedant.
Beautiful cake!
The ‘Brown Cow’ name must cross borders. We had the same moniker at Killester Girls College in Melbourne – so I feel your pain on that one!
Oh, that look absolutely beautiful! I wish you were my daughter’s godmother! I’ll try to make this cake for her bday!
Oooh, what a gorgeous Princess Torte, I just love marzipan so I’d definitely love this cake.
What a lucky girl is Evie, she’ll be guaranteed a lifetime of beautiful and delicious cakes for her birthdays, having a talented god-mother such as you Lorraine!
I like to spoil myself for my birhtday and always source a divine cake from a reputable cakeshop. Last birthday, I couldn’t decide what to have so I ordered two cakes from Mezzapica in Leichhardt. One was a Mimosa cake and the other a Chocolate Mousse Torte, both were delectable and were polished off in no time by family and friends. I also love St.Honore’.
Gorgeous cake and such cute little girls =D
This year my daughter insisted on a chocolate cake shaped like a flower (thank goodness for cake tin hire shops) decorated with pink icing (the gel is so much better than the drops!) and flowers and fairies. I made the centre yellow (once again the strong yellow gel) and put the silver balls in it so it looked like stamens. The cake tin hire shop had gorgeous flowers for sale in any shade you wanted, and I used ceramic fairies so she had a keepsake of the cake for her 6the birthday. She said it was the most perfect cake ever!
i. love. princess cakes. LOVE. what i would do for a slice right now.
ack! she is BEAUTIFUL!
so is your cake
i just wanted to let you know how much i love your blog…..the stories are funny, the photography is fantastic and there is a great variety…thankyou so much
i am glad i found you the day i was looking for co-ops in sydney
Shakti x
Congratulations on being a Godmother!! There are few greater honors, where someone chooses YOU to be the guardian for their child. I am sooo happy for you!!
I wanted a Barbie Doll Ice cream cake – the one with an actual barbie and her skirt was made of cake and ice cream?
Well Dad bought one for me, but in the 8 hours drive home it melted slightly and when it came time to eat it, poor Barbie was on a massive lean with her legs sticking out the side… but it was the thought that counted!!
Beautiful! Did you make the flowers? I got a green number 8 cake from my kids a couple of years ago since apparently it was my “favourite”.. (since I was 33 it surprised me somewhat!)
What a pretty cake! I love the pink color and the roses on top!
I can see how princesses of all ages would adore this lovely cake, Lorraine! I love that pic of Evie eying up the cake!
What a pretty cake! and congrats on that gorgeous godchild!
Growing up I only wanted mud cake. Chocolate chocolate chocolate!
What a wonderful cake!
So pretty
Evie is just GORGEOUS
Congrats on Godmotherhood – I think you’d be an awesome kooky godmother to have 
I got a Halley’s Comet cake when I was 8, it was awesome
A beautiful cake for beautiful girls! You’ll be a fab Godmother! xoxo Mum
Lorraine usually I come here to ohh and ahh at your fantastic creations, Sadly this one time, as lovely as that torte is, your goddaughter has stolen the show. She is sooooo cute I just want to eat HER up instead:-)
I LOVE that amazing Ikea Princess Cake! Mmm and yours is so lovely.
As for the little one, just look at those bright lovely blue eyes! She’s a cutie!
Lorraine, your God-daughter is so pretty and cute!!! How lucky she is to have you as a Godmother.
Pretty cake and I bet it taste lovely.
my Mom always made the cake for us when we’re kids. She’s really good doing the decoration. Nowadays it’s just a tiny cake bought from the shop. hahaha …
When I was little my mum made me a cake shaped like a Jewellery Box and another cake shaped like Ballet shoes.
Being the “odd one out” and “quirky” is much better than plain, simple and normal.
Quirky makes life interesting and the smallest things amazing!
All I do is avoid Bridezillas with super, super, super conservative families. Quirky and that does not mix! Trust me.
Great looking Torte…I wish I could grab some out of my screen.
What a gorgeous cake (and so is your god-daughter)! The cake reminds me of a pouffe, one of those footstool things.
I wasn’t that into cakes as a child, I was more interested in the latest doll or toy – the Velvet doll with the hair that you could grow and style brings back fond memories…
gorgeous coloured cake!! congratulations on being conferred the title. ^^ m sure u’ll make a fun and fantastic godmother.
Congrats on becoming godmother to an adorable young lady. She is so cute!
So pretty! I would love to have a bite of that cake.
I asked one year for that doll in the cake one.
Well done you!!!! Princess indeed. This looks mighty fabulous NQN!!!! And I love marzipan to fondant… = )
I always request my mothers Mandarin cake…so divine with double cram and soaked in mandarin syrup…wish is was July sooner!!
Gorgeous cake for a gorgeous girls, congrats Lorraine on becoming a godmother!
Whee I always order princess cake when I eat at IKEA, it’s the best! This is the first time I’ve seen a pink version! Looks quite fiddly with all that tucking, I think I would make a mess of it!
what a pretty torte!
You are truly my heroine! This looks stunning and is quite possibly my fave cake…going on my list! Thank you!
It’s sooooo pretty…but are they good to eat? It sounds really sweet!
A gorgeous Princess cake for a gorgeous little Princess. Those pics with her oggling the cake are too cute!
Congratulations on being the chosen one, Lorraine! Being a godmother is pretty awesome
Enjoyed the story, I am sure you will make a fine godmother and she will have her own blog before she turns three.
Great cake, perfect for the little sweetie.
Congratulations! I would be so excited too. That cake is gorge! the icing looks amazing!
That’s one gorgeous cake!
As for birthday cake, I’m not picky, a fancy one from the french patisserie will do. Hehe
wow!! you went to sydney girls
i just graduated
Yes! I’ve always wanted to know how to make this cake and it will be perfect for the high tea I’m throwing for my birthday this summer. (Yes, I’m already planning it lol). It’s so pretty and it looks delicious! Thanks!
what a beautiful cake lorraine and congrats on becoming a godmother
i always loved chocolate mud cake for my birthday
That looks awesome!! I think I’ll make that for my birthday this year! (I live far, far away from home so no mommy or auntie nearby to make it for me
)
My birthday cake request is an ice cream cake from Dairy Queen with a princess (my favorite is Cinderella) piped on top.
Thanks for the post! You’re the second person I’ve heard of that is enjoying Leila Lindholm’s cookbook so I may have to take a peek!
She’s adorable!!!! They both are
Awww- the girls are so cute! And the cake is really impressive!
I remembver having my first (and so far, only) princess cake a few years ago at IKEA- the only thing I remember was that there was so much cream!!
i’m not sure which i enjoy more–the gorgeous cake of which all little girls dream or the adorable children whose lives were entrusted to your care.
eyes on the prize, evie!
also, a taxidermied owl? yipes!
Gorgeous cake! I tried my first Princess Cake at Ikea only late last year and it was wonderful! My favourite memory of a birthday cake is a gorgeous icecream cake delivered in a styrofoam box packed with dry ice, it was so much fun putting chips of it in water!
that is the prettiest looking cake! it def suits it’s name princess cake! I love the pink icing and the flowers!!! and the baby is sooo cute
Aww she is so adorable! A true foodie in the making
Your princess torte looks great, I love the colour! I always wanted a Snoopy cake, didn’t matter what the actual cake was, as long as Snoopy was on it! lol 
Talking about quirky..I have been accused of that too! The cake looks so pretty -I will never be able to do something like this. And the 2 girls are so very pretty and adorable! I wouldn’t mind baby sitting them!
The cake looks so cute! Definitely fit for princesses of all ages.
Wow I never knew you went to Sydney Girls! Me too =) I graduated in ’07. We used to refer to the school colours as ‘chips with gravy’!
I’m not sure which is most gorgeous, the roses on the torte or those little girls. Sorry – I think the girls win LOL
Marzipan AND creme patisseree on the same cake? I’d've been in heaven as a wee girl (as a big girl I’m more aware of the consequences of such lushness…).
It looks gorgeous, and I’m inspired to have a go at the creme patiseree myself!
love the cake, love the kids!
both looking so beautiful
Those kids are adorable! And it sure looks like Evie wanted to chow down on the Princess Cake! Which, by the way, looks delicious as well as girlie. I love it!
We have lots of these Princess Tortes in Seattle, but I’ve never seen such a lovely pink one. I may have to give this a try now that you’ve given such good steps.
Oh, you are so lovely! And I’m GLAD you’re quirky and interesting.
The cake is splendid – a little girl’s dream! 
I remember loving Black Forest Cake – probably because it was my Dad’s favorite. 
Nowadays I want a four layer cake filled with truffle ganache and coated in dark chocolate glaze. Mmm. 
A gorgeous cake, for a beautiful godchild. The roses are so pretty!
Congratulations Lorraine for becoming Godmother for angelic Evie, and Evie will be delighted to grow up with your loving care, cakes and gifts!
What a cutie! I love pink cakes! I don’t think that you ever outgrown them.
That is really pretty and I am sure that you will be a good godmother that will feed and feed
congratulations – I am sure that your friends put a lot of thought into their choice of godmother and so it is indeed an honour and she looks so adorable – as does your cake – she might not remember it but she will probably be requesting it every year and thinking it is quite normal for godmothers to make children cakes to fulfil their every fantasy – how wonderful!

Oh wow, that would have been my dream birthday cake from 4-10. Pretty sure I would still enjoy it now. Congratulations on being a godmother – I have no doubt you’ll be wonderful.
For my last birthday I had a bee sting cake (or Beinenstich). A Hungarian family friend introduced it to me many years ago and it was love at first bite.
Oh this is too sweet and I’m certain you’ll be the best and most fun Godmother to Evie. Homemade goods are such a wonderful way to bring people together and express your caring.
