Indian Pottery Bowl Cake With Flowers

I did this cake for a friend of mine's wife. He wanted it to reflect her love of flowers, her Indian heritage and her obsession for corn...apparently she eats it at every meal! So here it is! My Indian Bowl/flower/corn cake! It is chocolate cake, chocolate buttercream with caramel, pecan and chocolate ganache filling. Fondant decor with hand made gum paste flowers. This is the first time I covered my board and I like the look. The white flowers are supposed to be Cherokee roses...well, they're my interpretation of them anyway! Oh...and I made the corn by smushing some cake trimmings and forming the shape of an ear of corn. I frosted it with buttercream and then added Jelly Belly jelly beans for the kernels. They weren't yellow enough so I brushed them with some gel food coloring and vodka. Covered with green fondant and voila! Ear of corn! Would love comments! CSM
