Pollyanna Cake

by Melisa Brown
(Monroe, NC USA)

We've been wanting to have a Pollyanna Cake ever since we first saw Disney's "Pollyanna" and the cakes they had at the orphanage fund raiser.


None of the recipes I found in my cookbooks or online seem to fit the look of those big, beautiful cakes on the silver screen. But when I stumbled upon Wedding Cakes for You last week, I knew that the 1-2-3-4 Cake was going to be perfect.

We have several birthdays in July and were planning one birthday celebration for all of us last Sunday. I made the small wedding cake recipe for three-twelve inch pans. I added almond and Triple Sec flavorings to the vanilla. I also use peach and Triple Sec syrup between the layers and added more Triple Sec to the light-caramel icing - just a little.

It was so much fun to cut such generous slices for everyone (or to have to cut some in half for lighter eaters). I don't know if I'll ever make a cake like that again since I don't bake like I used to. The joyful satisfaction of finally being able to make a long-awaited Pollyanna Cake that lives up to its grand expectation has memorialized this family's July birthdays for years to come.

Hi Melisa,

This post made my night. Thank you so much. I am very happy to hear that you found the perfect recipe for your Pollyanna cake right here at Wedding Cakes For You.

I remember the movie now. I had forgotten about it until you posted this. I went in search of scenes. This one below is perfect.

I love that you added your yummy touches to the recipe and a light caramel icing sounds so perfectly matched to this cake.

Happy Birthday to all of you and thanks for sharing these wonderful photos of the Pollyana style 1-2-3-4 old fashioned recipe.
