My Chocolate Flower Cake
I'm entering my first cake decorating contest Friday with this flower pot cake. The rules are that an adult can help with the baking, but I have to do all the decorating myself. My mom has been digging up cake pictures for days now. She shows me pictures on the Internet and in cookbooks and EVERYTHING looks good. Then last week she came across a picture of this flower pot cake from and old newspaper article my Gram had sent her. Perfect! The recipe was for little flower pots with real flowers. We changed it up and used a big pot and fake flowers. I covered the cake with thick chocolate icing and then crumbled chocolate cookies all over the top. I "planted" the flowers and here's the finished product. It was really fun to make and really easy to decorate.

Your cake looks awesome, Retta! I hope we win it at the cake walk!!

My daughter's 4th birthday is coming up and she wants a flower cake. When I googled "flower cake", your blog is one of the pictures that came up. I would love to know how you baked the cake. It's such a cute idea. Did you just follow a regular cake recipe and bake it in the flower pot? I would love to get the instructions. Thanks, Tammy
