Danish Wedding Cake

Danish Wedding Cake on Cake Central

This is a picture of the kransekage or Danish Wedding cake. They are popular where I live in Denmark, Kansas as everyone has Danish heritage. It is made from marzipan, egg whites, and sugar. It is made in a special ring mold and then assembled with royal icing. The stars on top are actually Swedish rosettes. That is not a traditional topper, but it was very pretty. Every guest at the wedding is supposed to eat a piece. More than one cake is baked and broken up ahead of time to serve this purpose. I cant take credit for this cake, my mother-in-law actually did it. I decorated the main wedding cake and was really happy for her help!
