RECIPE FOR KRANSEKAKE (Norwegian Wedding Cake)
DIRECTIONS FOR FROSTING
1/2 egg white
1/2 cup powdered sugar
Stir together ingredients. Icing should be thin enough to flow from a pastry bag but thick enough to hold its shape on the rings.
To assemble cake, drizzle some frosting on platter to anchor cake. Place largest ring on frosting. Apply frosting in scallops on first ring. Place next largest ring on top and decorate and stack in order. The scalloped frosting will hold each ring in place. To decorate, use small Norwegian flags, marzipan fruit, tiny wrapped presents, or foil wrapped candy attached with caramel. To hollow cake tower is perfect for hiding a wine bottle.
Kransekake freezes well. To serve, break into 2" pieces.
