How Do You Make A Cake Decorated Like Terra Cotta Flower Pots?
Surprise your guests or a lucky birthday girl with a cake that resembles a realistic terra cotta flower pot. Since the cake and frosting will be concealed by the cake decorations, you can choose your favorite flavors without fear of detracting from the cake’s flower pot appearance. Sprinkle cookie crumb “dirt” around the base of the cake and add a small hand spade or pair of gardening gloves to complete the terra cotta pot effect. Prepare two boxes of any flavor cake mix according to the package directions. Divide the batter between four 8-inch round cake pans sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Bake the cakes at 350 degrees F for 30 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of each cake comes out clean. Remove the cake pans from the oven and let the cakes cool in the pans. Purchase two 24 oz. packages of ready-to-use white fondant. Open one of the packages and remove half of the fondant. Store this fondant in a resealable bag for later use. Open the remaining package
