Ramblings of a Dutchy in California

In April 2003 I traded my hometown of Haarlem, Netherlands, for the San Francisco Bay Area and a career in tech journalism and high-tech public relations. But work isn't the only reason I like the area, as you'll see on this blog, which will primarily have photos and some personal thoughts.

Princess Cake

A friend and former co-worker introduced me to Princess Cakes. This has become my favorite cake in the U.S. I had a nice piece last week, the occasion was a work party and I took the opportunity to pick the cake and share the delight. It was a hit.


The original, I believe, comes from Sweden. It beats other U.S. cakes and pies because it is light and not ultra sweet. The traditional cakes in this country have a thick layer of frosting that will make your teeth fall out on touch and have you running for something to drink immediately because of the super sweetness.

I highly recommend getting or making a princess cake for your next party. Locally, Copenhagen bakery in Burlingame makes a killer Princess Cake.
