Someone told me I could use a regular terracotta pot as as cake pan to make a plant pot shape? Doesn't sound right to me. Would it withstand an oven? I think maybe a fridge cake, but has anyone ever used one in an oven? If so, how did the cake turn out?I want a pot shape and this sounds too easy to be true? Or am I just potty myself?
Id like to know an answer to this question myself. I have only seen it on this website http://www.verydifferentcakes.com/ theres a quick video that shows her on sugar rush making a cake and mini terracotta cake combo. looks good just watch the little video on the left its the first one.
I would also like to know if they probably line them with parchment paper i would assume?
what is a flower nail?
It's what use use to make roses on or any flower for that fact. Has a flat round top and the base is like a large screw. K'ly
Do a search on here "flower nail" and you'll see a pic. I tried to post it ad couldn't 
Yea! It worked. I lined the bottom and greased like crazy. I also put my cake nail in over the little hole in the bottom. Cake came out clean too, just as a normal pan. I don't have anything in mind for a pot cake, was just curious after talking with someone about it. Thanks guys.
thanks for the info cant wait to try it maybe for mothers day
mjjandz, sorry haven't checked in for a little while.
The cake came out just the shape of a pot, but no rim, I guess a strip of MMF after covering the thing in MMF would be the way to go. I used a small pot - 4in x 5in, just a little wee thing really and used some mixture when we were making cupcakes, it really didn't take much at all. BUT, after I had posted my happy success story - gravity started to kick in, and it lost a bit of it's height. Sorry, no photo as I was only messing about and then sat down with my GD and ate the thing up. I do feel happy enough though to have a go at making another and actually decorating it - I saw a neat cactus cake in a pot, will post a piccie when I do it.
Thanks for the tips! I was planning on making a flower pot cake with round cake and cutting it to shape, but this seems like an easier solution. Will have to try it, thanks for this post.
I was just wondering , when you wash it do you use just regular dishwashing liquid or something else?
For real, with soap? I thought it would be like the pampered chef stones...... but I guess if we are lining with parchment paper then soap in the porous pot wouldn't matter. Although, is it really necessary to worry about germs if you season it first... wouldn't the heat kill all the germs? If rinse with hot water and bake, would that do it, or do you think the soap is necessary?
Yes I think you'll be right about the germs being killed off - I'm just a Monica and washed and washed till I had raisin fingers. And you must be right about the lining paper too. The thing to bear in mind though, is that I had no idea what I was doing and am very new to cakes. Good points you raise. Can you tell me what these chefs stones are? Sounds interesting.

Pampered chef stones are great! I love many of the pampered chef products, but I think the spatulas are my favorite. They are the BEST for getting cookies off of a cookie sheet. The mini one is great for getting the first brownie out of the pan, doesn't mutilate it!
As a Pampered Chef Rep..
I would think that the pots would soak up the soap and flavor the cakes just like it would if you use it on the stoneware... and my biologist husband promises me that any harmful bacteria is killed at 160 degrees...so you wouldn't have to worry about germs. If you season it good enough with the oil... it should clean up nicely with just hot water.
