Flower Pot And Magician's Hat Cakes
Decorating By Jennifer1303 Updated 5 Sep 2006 , 4:25pm by oceanspitfire
I am making my neighbor's daughter's birthday cake. She wants a flower pot cake with long stem flowers. My problem: She wants everything to be edible! (That includes the pot and all the stems and flowers). Is this even possible? Won't the pot be top-heavy and fall over? Also, my niece wants a magician's hat with a bunny coming out of it for her cake. Yikes! Where do I start with this one? If anyone has any ideas I would love to hear them! Thanks!

go to the forum and search for flower pots. Most of them you'll see are edible. I made a cake in a flowerpot and aded cookies on sticks. You could bake in a flower pot for the shape then just frosten the cake. I'm sure you can make edible stems. maybe someone else can offer suggestions on that. HTH, or at least a start It should be ok id you make the pot wide enough and don't have that many flowers in it.
need more time to think about the other
not the best looking cake however it looks fairly easy to make. here is a website with the picture

hope this helps
I made a flower pot cake with cookie flowers on sticks after I saw a picture here somewhere. If you want the sticks to be edible, maybe you could use candy sticks (like peppermint sticks only in different colors and flavors like suckers). I know I've seen green ones that were apple flovor. Hope that helps. -fabbo

yeah what she said
This is totally not my league as far as experience goes but structurally I wouldnt think edible fondant or gumpaste stems would be that sturdy- that would be recipe (haha) for disaster. There are tons of candy sticks out therE (i'd think pretzels wouldnt be that sturdy either)
As for the bunny one- that pic looks awesome that was posted as an example! Again, no experience in this department, but doesnt that look like it'd be a tall round cake (stacked or layered) and then a ball cake for the head and then gumpaste or fondant ears or cookies or something LOL
Cant wait to see both
