Hello,
I need some ideas, picutres for mother's day cake. I searched google and yahoo images and there wasnt much there. I appreciate your help. thanks
I've thought about doing a bouquet of flowers. I was going to cut the cake to look like a bouquet, cover the bottom in fondant and dust or stamp with a metallic color to look like the florist's foil. The I'd cover the top part in flowers with stems and leaves to hide the cake underneath. I was also going to rest it on some cello and add a gift tag also made of fondant. I don't think I'm going to do it though. It'd be pretty but my DM doesn't like cut flowers. She prefers them potted.
cant you do a potted flower cake???? I think that would look great!!!! I know with your talents you can do it!!!
I don't know if this is so much a typical mothers day cake, but I am making my mom a Red Hat cake (and a smaller pink/lavender hat cake) for her Mother's Day tea with her Red Hat Society ladies
I also REALLY like the idea of a flowerpot cake!
How about this - think about what your mother in particular loves and do a cake on that theme?
Or.. think about what most any mom would love.. a vacation? a good kid? a night off? someone else to make dinner? kid saying "I love you, Mom!"?? - and make a cake based on one of those ideas.
Maybe think of a common saying that Moms say.. "Don't run with scissors!" or whatever she says.. "Don't make me say your full name, young lady!" something that might come out amusing on a cake..
OR.. a character cake or BCT of famous cartoon or tv moms - Wilma Flintstone, Jane Jetson, etc.
That's all for right now..

Hi all,
I want to thank you all. You have given me wonderful ideas for the cake.
the cake is actually for the all the staff (especially mothers!) in our local library and I just want to thank them for their help and hard work. So that is the story! well thanks again for your help
i have done a mother's day hat. the cake was covered in fondant. I colored the fondant the blue color 1st and added a little bit of the purple color so that the fondant had two-toned effect. I covered the board with fondant to make the rim (brim?) of the hat. I then used royal icing to paint the decoration on it. Here is what it looked like.

Thanks flayv! You have more confidence in me than I have in myself--LOL! I actually tried to make my SIL a topiary cake once...it ended up having to be a potted rose bush. I didn't have a good stand to support the top of the topiary and it fell down. Luckily I hadn't decorated it yet so it was an easy save. I think I'm going to go with a cooking theme. I bought my DM a beautiful set of vintage melmac spatterware bowls she'd been wanting. They were new in the original box so this is a very special gift. I want to try to incorporate that into the cake.
Those all sound like very nice ideas! I think the flower pot idea is especially fun. Now I've got something to go to Michael's and look for! (Ceramic Pot w/no hole in the bottom that I can bake in.) LOL

I've heard that works really well. I have a stainless steel bowl shaped like a flowers pot(maybe it's a planter). That's what I baked the cake in. I should have used a flower nail or baked two layers though cause I wanted a really high cake and it took forever to bake.
A Family photo albm cake would be cool use the book cake pan and a few famliy photos on that edible paper would be so cute !

Yes...but it has to be a certain kind of printer (Canon bubble jet) and you have to use edible ink cartridges with a dedicated print head (only used for edible inks).
Lisa, You have a great amount of talent in the cake department....so YES I know you could do one!!!!
You can bake a cake in a regular 6" flower pot. Just grease the pot with crisco and then line it with wax paper and bake as normal. I just finished a birthday cake for my mother in law like this. No need to worry about finding a pot without a hole once lined with wax paper it works just great.
but i am wondering what type of pot you are referring too? Do you mean strictly the terracotta pots? How do I know which planters would withstand the heat of the oven?
This is news to me, and very exciting!!!! (A whole new world, yep I am singing that song........... )
sahm
This really is an interesting idea. How do you determine how long to bake the cake and at what temperature?
Lisa
They actually sell terracotta pots that are used just for baking. I bought a set of four...they came in a bread baking kit. These pots were glazed on the inside. You can use regular terrcotta pots though...
