Lincoln Nebraska Bakery | S’more Cake | St. Pat’s Cake for Zach and Shanon

S’more Cake, Lincoln Nebraska Bakery created a party fondant cake for Zach and Shanon to celebrate the day with a Special Event Cake for St. Pat’s. This is their first St. Pat’s together as a married couple and we know how important this day has been for Zach. Now, he’s married to an Irish sweetie!

It is in the shape of a leprechaun hat with a large shamrock. The lemon flavored bright green fondant covers a three layer lemon cake frosted with Bailey’s Buttercream. Yum! First, I built the cake up in layers filled with limeade, cream cheese and white chocolate. Then I shaped the cake so that it had a slight slant towards the center, so that the top of the hat is smaller than the base. I measured the height and circumference of the base and top to make parchment paper patterns of the hat design. I rolled out the green fondant for the rim until it was about 3/8 inch thick. I cut the rim out about 2″ wide and wrapped it around the base of the frosted cake. Fondant will stretch, so I was able the shape it as I moved around the cake base. I put egg whites on the two edges and sealed it so it was a continuous rim. I then rolled out fondant about 1/4 inch and cut the sides and top of the hat. Using the egg whites, I again sealed the edges together. The shamrock was made free hand with a lime green fondant with a black band and golden buckle, also sealed to the hat with the egg whites.

I think that a glass of Bailey’s will be the perfect drink with this cake, but I think that Zach will probably have his Guinness!
