I hunted and hunted for a prinsesstarta here in Los Angeles for the Swedish boyfriend - I found the Great Dane in Los Alamitos (saw this in another post) and Berolina Bakery in Glendale, who both make KILLER princess cakes. Berolina is owned by a Swedish couple - so it was really nice to have them help me translate “Happy Birthday” and other holidays - but Mikael really liked the thinner marzipan at Great Dane. Either way - he couldn’t have been happier as he grew up on these cakes. I’m not a marzipan fan - at all - but I gave it a second chance and I LOVE this cake.

The princess cake from Miette really is darling, and tastes wonderful. I purchased one for a Swedish friend’s birthday luncheon, to be sliced and served in the restaurant offsite.
Unfortunately it doesn’t travel well on the hour-long train ride back to San Jose. I would love to find a bakery in the South Bay that was proficient in making this type of cake. Or even a decent European bakery; how I loathe the Asian imitations with no flavor whatsoever.

Also of note, Viktor Benes stocks bakery items at Gelson’s Supermarkets in the LA area, find them in the bakery department.

Another place to find a good princess cake is The Great Dane Baking Company in Huntington Beach, CA (6855 Warner Ave.) and in Los Alamitos, CA (11196 Los Alamitos Blvd.). They have both the regular size cakes and individual slices from a log-style cake, and sometimes even nifty little half-size cakes!

I like the dark green color. Have you discovered anywhere in NY (a cafe) where you can get a slice? (Other than IKEA).

[...] Next we headed to Miette, located in the Ferry Building. I really wanted to fall in love with Miette — I mean, geez, even the name is freaking cute! Based on my first impressions (both from the website and storefront,) I nearly fell hook, line, and sinker! It didn’t help that two women behind me in line boasted that these were, “The best cupcakes in San Francisco!” The bakery boasts a dainty display of sweet things, including a gorgeous Swedish Princess cake (a cake I’ve been enamored with since Kelli made one back in the day.) Miette’s ginger cupcake with Italian Meringue frosting looked so perfect that it seemed unreal. Italian Meringue is by far one of my favorite icings of all time: the texture reminds me of puffy white clouds, and it tastes like a grown-up version of marshmallow fluff. Moreover, I ruined enough simple syrups at CakeLove baking classes to find out that if you master Italian Meringue once, the technique will stay with you for life. [...]

Try Primrose Bakery in the Castro Valley Village in Castro Valley, CA. Not only do they have the full-sized cake, but they serve individual slices for ytour afternoon coffee! Very good.

ALso, not a hard cake to make if oyu don’t do what I did my first time: blanche and grind the almonds and make the marzipan from scratch because I was a novice.

My dh and I married 10 years ago; our cake was made by “Word of Mouth” Patisserie in San Francisco on Fulton. The cake was exquisite; light, delicious, and not too sweet! The marzipan was colored a soft pinkish-beige with creamy buttercream embellishments and fresh flowers. My dear in-laws took the top cake home and froze it. We ate the top piece 3 weeks later on returning from the honeymoon, and it was also wonderful.
