Potplant Cake

Potplant Cake on Cake Central

This cake went a little wrong, well a lot wrong. It's a buttercake filled with fresh cream, peaches and caramel. I didnt really want to make it because i know how moist this cake can be and it does not do well for carving. But the customer loves this cake base so i went ahead. It was meant to be a very shapr angled pot and once the fondant was applied it became rounded. The colour of the terracotta was obtained using pink, orange, black and dark brown. The roses are buttercream, the butterfly is gumpaste.

My pants got tighter just reading that!! It sounds delish, and your roses are wonderful. I'll never get the hang of roses

Great job and I thank you too for the tip on obtaining the color of terra cotta, tried before and couldn't get the color right

The filling is simply syrup from the canned peaches, caramel (dulce de leche) and cream whipped with sugar and vanilla. You moisten the cake with the syrup, then put the caramel, then the cream and top with thinly sliced peaches. That's it

This is a stunning cake Nati. It's very beautiful. I adore that butterfly floating above the flowers. Very, very nice.
