I made this cake just because I wanted to try this special recipe. It's a date cake with Meringue butter cream, flavored with a little bit of Baileys Irish cream,...oh my goodness was it delicious. The cake was a sheet cake that I cut in five and stacked and so it was five layers of deliciousness.

This cake survived a five hour car ride to my friends house in Virginia...it was a winner for sure!

Hi Shirley! I have been looking for two years for an inspiration to help me make a sukkah cake and i finally found it! This cake is magnificent. Would you mind sharing with me exactly how you got that perfect brown for the walls?

Hi Ilana

Thank you :-)
I just use the brown wilton gel colors, a little bit on a tooth pick and mix it into the fondant add more until you get the desired color.

I love this cake! Is the entire outside fondant? How did you make the leaves on top?

Hi Lauren

It is covered in fondant and the decorations are made of fondant as well.
The leaves on the top is just rolled fondant that I sliced into shape with an exacto knife. you can roll it into a snake shape, flatten it with the palm of your hand and than slit it along the sides to create the palm leaf shape.
