Pastry cream cake

Soft and fluffy vanilla cake sandwiched with custard buttercream and creme patissier

Pillowy-soft cake filled with rich and velvety milk cream. Just what heaven might taste like

Karpatka is a Polish Carpathian Mountain Cake consisting of layers of choux pastry and a thick and decadent filling of crème mousseline (German buttercream).

Italian Cream Cake's beginnings are murky, but it is said to originate from an Italian baker that moved to the southern US. This is our family recipe, passed down to me from my mom. It's a delicious classic cake that everyone should try at least once. (I'm certain you'll be hooked!)Make sure the cake layers are completely cool before frosting them. Cream cheese frosting is soft and easily meltable.

Chocolate pastry cream is smooth, creamy, and perfect for use as a cake or cupcake filling, or to use with other pastries.

This easy Pastry Cream (Creme Patissiere) recipe is simple and delicious. A rich and creamy vanilla custard you can use in a variety of decadent desserts.

Crème pâtissière is the unsung hero in so many French desserts. This custard is easy to make, and a great base recipe to have up your sleeve.

The best cremeschnitte - puff pastry filled with vanilla cream. Cremsnit, Krempita, Cremes - different names but the same creamy delight.

This cannoli cream cake has three fluffy vanilla cake layers studded with mini chocolate chips, a classic ricotta cannoli filling, and a fluffy mascarpone frosting. Each slice is the perfect amount of sweetness, but with a slight tang from the ricotta cheese, and the added texture from the mini chocolate chips.

My favorite authentic bakery-style Italian rum cake, a combination of sponge cake, pastry cream, whipped cream, nuts, and booze for the win!
