Howdy all! I need help with some ideas for a cake. My sister bday is coming up and she loves checkerboard design and daisy flowers. Any ideas???? I also really want to do a stacked cake. I figure it is a great time to practice.
I would apprecite any ideas.
Thanks
What a great opportunity to do a checkerboard cake INSIDE then you can do whatever you like on the outside with the daisy and you get the best of both worlds
Is it checked or gingham? Sounds like me...love anything gingham and daisies!
I saw a cake on here somewhere. It was covered with white fondant with gingham ribbon around the base with daisies...I'll look around and see if I can find it. I loved it!
that link sent me to a dinosaur cake. it was cute too but no daisy or checkerboard.
And my sister loves black and white checkerboard (she is very into ska music)
How do I do a checkerboard inside?
Can't wait to here more ideas
I have the insructions for the cheker board cake I just need to scan it so if you can pass me your E mail I could get that to you .

Here is a link to a past discussion of how to make a Checkerboard cake without the pans and inserts. I hope this helps, or at least is a start for you.
I love daisies myself and I was thinking if you wanted to do a tier cake. Do a sort of Checkered or Gingham pattern around the outsides of each tier then Put daisies on top as a topper. Depends on how Fancy, whimsical, fun, or classy you want to go. There are so many options I can think of with this combo.
Can't wait to see the cake!
Also check out my pictures I have a checkerboard cake in there for the 4th of july-so it is actually 3 colors instead of two. But it will still give you an idea of what it looks like after it is cut if you haven't seen one.

Here's the instructions that I used for piping a Checkerboard cake. (I'm too cheap to buy the pans ):

Also, I baked the cake in only two pans, then torted the layers. Even tho' it's far from perfection, here's the final outcome:
I would love those instructions

Im so excited to try everyones ideas.
Thanks for the help everyone.
As you can see I didn't do a tiered cake becuase my sister and mom don't want leftover cake. (who wouldn't want leftover cake )
I tried to do the checkerboard desing inside but I don't think it worked. When I took it out of the pan it just looked all swirly.
Anyways I'm happy with it and I know my sister is gonna love it.,
So thanks again for all the help!
