I have been asked to do a royalty themed cake for a church. They want the deep purple with a crown on top and various jewels and things representing royalty. No Problem! Then she tells me she wants it to be a sweet potato cake. I have neer made one and was hoping someone could help me. Will it tast ok with a buttercream under the fondant or should I use a maple flavored icing???? I'm lost. I want the cake to look good but taste good too. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! TIA

Sweet potato cake sounds wonderful.

Don't know if I'd like maple, though. Cream cheese, cheesecake or vanilla flavoring would be my choices for both fondant and buttercream.

These flavors can be found at: www.nationalflavors.com or www.LorAnnOils.com

Thanks JanH. If I do use the cream cheese do I need to keep in fridge? If so will it effect the fondant. Thanks so much for the help

ok so Jan H I guess it's just too early in the morning. I just realized you meant the flavorings and not actually cream cheese Thanks again for your help
