[69adrummer]

Man Chef John, your mom sounds like a real snob..."I don't eat cake" blah ....

JK!! This looks great, heck, which of your recipes doesn't! xD

[Spongeluv11]

I found this recipe today going through Pioneer Woman's website. I instantly thought of this video when I saw it.

[lebloobloo]

I LOVE YOU JOHNNY BOY

[fudgeyum]

how do you eat it O_o

i mean there is a pot in the way... and like i dont want to eat pure oreo dust like eating the cake in layers... so do you like pour it all out or what?

[amnch07]

@fudgeyum pssst, u just grab a spoon, take it till the very bottom and take out the filling and BUM! u have ur portion. pretty cool right?

[fudgeyum]

@amnch07 Well like how do you scoop the spoon? it looks like a deep pot and if you shove a spoon down all the way and if you pull it up wont the contents of the spoon fall off because your unable to make a scooping motion?

[amnch07]

@fudgeyum you make a triangular cut and then scoop it out. But if you, of course, are a perfectionist then this isn't a recipe for you and as chef john once said ''Nobody cares about perfectionist''

[angelskier14]

i think i know which website you found this recipe on... saw this on pioneer woman.com

[fourseventeenx3]

[MychalMonstrousity]

o__o"

[choco1154]

you just eat it from the pot.

[FriendlysRestaurant]

This is awesome!

[agaragarlove]

its like mcflurry in the mc donalds

[thebrunette1]

you're actually really funnyyyy

[Scootermagoo]

Just make sure that the pots were not made in China to avoid the lead in the glaze. Other then that this rocks.

[DH87]

well I eat cake, can i have it.. xD

[blueszgirl]

You are so entertaining!

[hipgang2007]

[Suebeen2000]

[DaniAmur]

or did yo use tin foil or food wraper ?

[MrMss4]

wat

[DaniAmur]

how do you take the cake out?

[MrMss4]

I believe you are just just supposed to eat it without taking it out =)

[HKichen]

U should take the cream filling out. It is so fattening.

[HKichen]

SO CUTE!

[MoanaLindsey]

YOU'RE A GENIOUS

[twocool4life86]

John........4 real thanx Yo........A+

[cooliqra]

"Make sure you taste one, just to check if they're fresh.." LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL

[HBSnaruto20]

now that is awesome

[JeppeTD]

lmao well i eat cake can i have it

[cinny108]

how do you serve this?

[CrazyMetalKidd]

thats what i want to know lol

[biggajigga721]

You give this to them .

You give them a spoon.

You tell them to eat.

[javila0212]

i want to make this it looks good!!!!

[mafiaskateryeah]

dand meh mum didnt want cake....XDDD

[gjfovf]

I made this, and Mom loved it

[repipi34]

hahahah good idea but is MASSIVE!!!! mum should share it with the whole family LOL

[mokienatrix]

Ceramic vessels that aren't intended for food use are often treated with lead-based glazes, so anyone trying this out at home should check their flowerpot beforehand (especially if it's a particularly colorful pot).

Alternately, just grab one of Mom's nice serving dishes and let her freak out over you using it for a plant, and THEN make your big reveal.

[cch728]

this will make it difficult to eat.

[jasonvrodrigues]

how about soaking that cake with something?? any ideas??

[zulonz]

hm, when I was in pre-school, on mothers day they would always serve this!

[RememberTheEighties]

cool beans man I should try this for my best friend

[pyogazel]

This is a great idea! How about planting edible flowers in this pot? like honeysuckles, viola, tulip, lilac, Sweet Woodruff, black locust... I have a thing for black locust flowers, they're pretty and taste like grapes!

[killakris1010]

this is absolutely amazing! Best idea yet for mothers day!

[xavierprotocols]

Awesome! :D

[thebnana88]

this is a great idea.

[lenabella88]

That is so cute! Love it! ; )

[LittlePinky82]

So cute! I'll have to remember this for next yr. I wonder if you can find eatable flowers?

[drakendrones]

i guess u can get eatable flowers from any bakery! i have seen ppl buy'em!

[ratmq]

My Mom (&Dad) Loved this.....Thanks Chef John!

[deketelaere]

Waouw...it's a great idea for Mother's day!
