The Tomte Cake is the creation of author and illustrator Miranda Vaughn. The concept originated around Christmas of when Vaughn was discussing favorite holiday traditions with a friend. Though Vaughn enjoyed the tradition of decorating gingerbread houses with her family, she noted several drawbacks — namely that store-bought kits were nearly impossible to assemble, had poor taste, were incredibly wasteful, and sometimes contained questionable ingredients. As the conversation progressed, Vaughn questioned why no bakery had invented an all-in-one gingerbread house cake pan, that made reasonably portioned gingerbread houses without the frustrating assembly. In a moment of inspiration two weeks later, the entire concept for The Tomte Cake came to Vaughn all at once during a work trip. As she excitedly relayed the story idea to her children, she jotted down the tale of Tomte the gnome accidentally getting baked into a gingerbread house, using the only available tools — the back pages of a unicorn coloring book and a purple crayon.
