Hi everyone.

Im making a "pancake cake" in the next couple of days. Mud cake with fondant to look like a stack of pancakes. I was wondering what I should I use as the maple syrup on top? Im really stumped for ideas, and havent been able to find much info any what I could use. I would like it to look as realistic as I can, without actually using maple syrup. Any help would be great! Thank you :)

AThick caramel sauce?

Hi!  I made my pancake stack all buttercream not fondant.  For the syrup you can use a corn syrup with gel color mixed in to give you the right color.  I also used some caramel ice cream topping mixed in too.  This is a fun cake - enjoy!

Also my pats of butter are softened Starburst candies.

Color some piping gel

I used carmel sauce I made for the carmel butter cream I used for the filling.

I used home made piping gel as described in  the link.

Here's a great tutorlal on making one.  I followed the steps here and it turned out great!  It's in my pictures.  I didn't do the fruit in the photo though.
