Giant Papayas
Hooray for papayay! Not going to lie, I will occasionally sit around and start to think about all the fruits that I’ve never caked and this week, it hit me! I’ve never made papayas!!
These Giant Papaya Cakes are extra ripe! I started with 10lbs of vanilla cake dyed a tropical peachy pink color to resemble fresh papaya flesh and iced it all with a sweet yellow Italian meringue buttercream. I filled the cavities in each cake with shiny dark chocolate crisp pearls for the seeds then covered each cake in yellow fondant painted to perfection!
** This recipe will make two papaya cakes.
