The tomte cake

The New Gingerbread house tradition everyone is falling in love with. Tomte the mischevious gnome accidentally falls into some cake batter and gets baked into a gingerbread house. Don't freak out, he's fine. The tomte cake a children's book!

As I was scrolling through social media, a good friend posted photos of her girls making a Tomte cake photo below of the cute Hartzell girls. And you know me — I am all about baking, cake and anything Nordic or Swedish. I commenced to google and ended up ordering two sets — one for myself and one for my sweet niece, Charlie. The Tomte Cake is a book written and illustrated by Miranda Tompkins. The idea came about one evening while discussing gingerbread houses. The pre-packaged houses are huge, they taste like cardboard, the packaging is wasteful — it is basically a craft project that gets tossed.

It's Christmas time on "Shark Tank," and that means all sorts of wintery treats are vying for attention from the show's titular batch of entrepreneurs. In the case of the Tomte Cake, it combines a new-fashioned reconception of the traditional gingerbread house with an old-fashioned Swedish tradition. The result is something easier for kids to eat and decorate, a house that's more likely to stay intact during the decorating process, a treat made of natural ingredients, and an overall product that's much less wasteful. In short, it is the perfect solution to a troublesome holiday problem that often plagues parents who find themselves elbow-deep in dough during the holiday season. Inspired by a friend's idea, she's created a special set of cake pans and a metal gnome that encourages kids to eat their own handiwork, king cake style. She's heading into the tank looking for financial support for her business, but she's been promoting the legend of the usually friendly yuletide elves known as Tomten since Time will tell if the sharks find her holiday-based pitch alluring, but until then, here's everything you need to know about the Tomte Cake. According to the official Tomte Cake website, Miranda Vaughn claims a conversation about gingerbread houses inspired her to create the Tomte Cake. Talking with a fellow mother about holiday traditions, they realized they loved making gingerbread cakes, but the mess and taste of the original product left them cold. They talked about how creating a mini cake pan might be a good idea instead of soldering together big chunks of gingerbread. The friend suggested that a picture book explaining the cake's purpose might be a good idea. Vaughn later came up with an idea, scribbling the story down on the back cover of her daughter's coloring book. A year later — after searching for a manufacturer to help her produce high-quality pans — the Tomte Cake became a reality. Vaughn may have also been partially inspired by an old folktale. In Swedish and other European traditions, a tomte or tomten are gnomes or house elves who are strongly associated with yuletide and the Christmas season.
