S’more Cake, Lincoln Nebraska special events cake bakery created this cake for St. Patrick’s Pot of Gold Cake. This rich cake was made from a recipe that features Bailey’s Irish Cream. It is a three layer cake filled with the green tinted Bailey’s frosting, making a very festive looking slice of cake. The cake is formed to the shape of a pot and covered with a lemon flavored fondant , brushed with silver luster to resemble a silver pot. A green shamrock was placed in the front of the pot. Fondant coins brushed with gold luster and a rainbow decorate the top of this cake. This was great fun to make. I am including the recipe for this cake for your pot of gold!
