Fall

Fall on Cake Central

Pralines and Cream flavored cake with Pralines and Cream icing. Everything is edible. The large pumpkin is an apple covered in fondant to give stability for the scarecrow. The scarecrow is entirely made from fondant and hand painted. The "wooden" flower pot is made from fondant and hand painted as well. The mums are a combination of fondant and tip #16. The cake itself was made from three loaf pans. They were torted and filled with the pralines and cream icing. This was my favorite cake to make.

The recipe is the WASC recipe from CC. I used Coffeemate Pralines and Cream Coffee Creamer for the flavor. I subbed 2/3 cup of creamer for the water. It is divine and doesn't cause the cake to sink!!!

That may just be the cutest scarecrow EVER! :D Love the effect of the hay, and all the little details really top it off. Great idea on the apple for the pumpkin, very clever!
