Flower Pot Cakes

Looking forward to an early spring! We celebrated my good friend Jen's 40th birthday today with these three adorable little flower pot cakes. Each pot is a different flavor cake covered in terra cotta colored fondant, and topped with chocolate cake crumbs made to look like soil. Each is then planted with a sugar flower made from sugarpaste -- orange cala lilies, a yellow tulip and hot pink gerbera daisies. Inside were red velvet cake, tiramisu and chocolate raspberry. We devoured two and saved one pot for Jen to bring home to her little girls (ages 5 and 3).
