I wondered about the weight of the marzipan on the whipped cream. (I almost had a disaster with a giant bavarian-filled, marzipan-covered cake a few years ago.) I might try putting it in the freezer while I roll out the marzipan.

have made many princess cakes as it is my now 27 yr old daughter’s favorite. I have always used your construction technique, starting at the bottom layer of cake.
They always taste wonderful and look beautiful but not I want to get the shape to be more of a dome. My problem seems to be the weight of the marzipan flattens out the whipped cream. I tried the upside sown method with an extra thin layer of Genoise to hold up the top. That solved the flattening problem but was too cakey and we all missed the mouth feel of the slightly stiff candy like marzipan next to the soft soft whip cream. any suggestions? Since we always make it is May, I added macerated strawberries to the pastry cream and strawberry jam instead of raspberry. Otherwise yummy and really satisfying to make.

I love “princess cakes” and have always bought them from a bakery when I get a hankering for it. Found your recipe and am excited to try and make my own. Thanks for sharing:-)
