I am making my neighbor's daughter's birthday cake. She wants a flower pot cake with long stem flowers. My problem: She wants everything to be edible! (That includes the pot and all the stems and flowers). Is this even possible? Won't the pot be top-heavy and fall over? Also, my niece wants a magician's hat with a bunny coming out of it for her cake. Yikes! Where do I start with this one? If anyone has any ideas I would love to hear them! Thanks!

go to the forum and search for flower pots. Most of them you'll see are edible. I made a cake in a flowerpot and aded cookies on sticks. You could bake in a flower pot for the shape then just frosten the cake. I'm sure you can make edible stems. maybe someone else can offer suggestions on that. HTH, or at least a start thumbs_up.gif It should be ok id you make the pot wide enough and don't have that many flowers in it.

need more time to think about the other

I made a flower pot cake with cookie flowers on sticks after I saw a picture here somewhere. If you want the sticks to be edible, maybe you could use candy sticks (like peppermint sticks only in different colors and flavors like suckers). I know I've seen green ones that were apple flovor. Hope that helps. -fabbo

yeah what she said icon_lol.gif
This is totally not my league as far as experience goes but structurally I wouldnt think edible fondant or gumpaste stems would be that sturdy- that would be recipe (haha) for disaster. There are tons of candy sticks out therE (i'd think pretzels wouldnt be that sturdy either)

As for the bunny one- that pic looks awesome that was posted as an example! Again, no experience in this department, but doesnt that look like it'd be a tall round cake (stacked or layered) and then a ball cake for the head and then gumpaste or fondant ears or cookies or something LOL

Cant wait to see both
