Hi, Jennifer20, I made a flowerpot cake just couple of weeks ago, no matter if you make it round or square (like I did) the best thing to do is just bake cakes stack them, make two templates one small that will be the bottom of the pot and one bigger that will be the top. Put your cake on the bigger template upside down, put the small template one on top, center and carve away…. that way you will get that pot look. I even ganached my cake upside down, then flip it over when you are done you are ready for the fondant… You can panel the cake instead of covering it old fashion way. Hope this helps, tell me if you need any more help! Selma
