Baby Shower Sweet Treats

Princess Torte

Ingredients-

2 - 9inch vanilla cakes cooked and cooled
2 packages of vanilla pudding mixed and chilled
1 qt heavy whipping cream
1 12 oz can almond paste
Green food coloring
Strawberry jam
1 tsp Vanilla extract
1/3 cup sugar

Directions-

Cut the two cakes in half throwing away the top piece of one cake. This should leave you with 2 bottom pieces and one top. Layer them with jelly and set them aside. Take the heavy whipping cream, a teaspoon of vanilla and a ½ cup of sugar tossing them in the mixer. Mix on high till the cream turns firm. Take the cream and layer it over the strawberry jam, place the 3 layers of cake onto one another. Mound the pudding in a pile onto the top layer in the center. Take the remaining whipped cream and place it on top of the pudding.

Spread it all over the top of the cake (leaving the mound of pudding). Set in the fridge. Take the almond paste and kneed in green food coloring (you can use any color that goes with your theme). Once the coloring is evenly mixed place plastic wrap over the counter place the paste on the plastic wrap. Smash it down the best you can with your hand. Place a second piece of plastic over the top of the paste and roll out till it will be able to drape over the whole cake. Once it's over the cake crimp bottom of the paste to make a nice look. Garnish with fresh fruit.
