Smörgåstårta, Swedish Sandwich Cake
This beautiful savory cake it’s the perfect appetizer for any event, made with layers of bread, cream cheese, smoked salmon and a beautiful egg salad. Decorating it’s the most fun part and you can be creative choosing what and how you want the cake to look like. What I love about this cake is that you can choose different things to put on each layer of bread depending on your tastes.
