Do you have a good recipe for caramel icing?
I ordered a couple of 6 inch pans yesterday - time for some test baking.
Take your largest cake pan, or even a roasting pan, and prepare it by buttering, and flouring the bottom and sides. Make three separate cake batters, i might suggest pineapple upside-down cake, chocolate mayonnaise cake, and carrot cake, each with appropriate frosting. For the chocolate frosting, mix as 1.2 chocolate buttercreamI need some help from the DC hive mind. I've been tasked to bake a birthday cake for 3 people who share the same birthday - one cake, 3 birthdays. They are BIG Birthdays with 0's and so the cake needs to be special.
It will be served at a smallish dinner party and the 3 celebrants have unique tastes.
One loves chocolate
One dislikes chocolate and almond flavors and prefers citrus flavors or carrot cake (but no raisins)
One likes berry, almond and caramel flavors
They all dislike fondant
I am up for making something out of the ordinary - maybe a 3 tiered cake; but need to ideas for flavor combinations
Any ideas?

What kind of food coloring did you use? Liquid, gel, paste? Maybe use the gel or paste, cut down on the flour and vege oil? That seems like a lot of flour.
Or you could simply do it like she did her pumpkin roll, use the same batter, pipe it, freeze the design, then add rest of batter and bake. I even kind of like the mascarpone filling, strawberry cheesecakey like, yummy.
Fondant is often used to make cake decorations. Here is a link to a video showing how t make it. Add paste food coloring to the liquid ingredients to change the color. Add different extracts to change the flavor.

The first post states that all three celebrants dislike fondant.
