Gone With The Wind Or Southern Plantation Themed Cake
Decorating By khiggins Updated 9 Apr 2006 , 2:52am by mendhigurl
I am donating a cake for an after prom party. The theme of the prom is Southern charm...does anyone have any ideas for a sheet cake. I need to feed approzimately 70 people. I thought about doing a sheet cake of some kind and then doing a couple of the doll cakes with the wonder mold pans so they would have the big dresses and I could add bonnets and such to them. The sheet cake is throwing me for a loop though. Any ideas would help. Thank you 
I was in Natchez, Mississippi 2 weeks ago, and they were having their annual Springtime pilgrimage. You can actually tour some of the pre-civil war mansions and the people are dressed in period costume. One of the things that was very beautiful was all of the azaleas and dogwoods in bloom. I mean, there was every color azalea you could imagine, everywhere they could possibly be planted! That would be something very pretty to put on a sheet cake, especially with the doll cakes dressed in the Southern Belle style! Can't wait to see pics of your cake!

How about doing a transfer of a picture of a Southern Planation....maybe decorate the sides of the cake with a fondant picket fence and native southern flowers.....I tried to post a pic of a plantation but it didn't work.........kinds looked like a Thomas Kincade picture.
I like the plantation - column idea. But I think that southern belle should wear a red dress!
If they have a specific theme/design on the tickets or invitations (if they had those) maybe you can replicate those on the sheet cake. I think that magnolias, dogwoods, around the edges, and maybe Prom 2006 _ _ High in the middle would look good too.
