I have a client that ordered a cake shaped like a big piece of french toast (apparently her friend's nickname is French Toast). I'm cutting a 12" square to look like one big piece of bread (I would prefer triangles, but that's what she requested). Can you guys help me brainstorm for the following:

1. She wants syrup dripping down the sides with a pool at the bottom...any ideas what to use for syrup (that still tastes right)?

2. I need a cinnamon sugar look...maybe brown petal dust?

well, if it were me...

i'd just use real syrup of the syrup and coarse brown sugar for the cinnamon sugar (just mix in real cinnamon for taste)

I think I would see if it were ok to do two pieces, one on top of the other but offset a bit. Since you cant do the triangles this might make it look more like real french toast.

for the syrup I would do a caramel sauce

and I would really use a cinnamon sugar if you can make a cake that would go well with the flavor. Otherwise maybe some very very finely ground nuts( ground to a powder) mixed in with some dust in the right shade

hth, please post when you finish, sounds like a fun cake!
