Lane cake rehashed. White cake, coconut gooey filling, cherry compote, smoked vanilla ice cream, rum caramel sauce, candied pecans. Made this for a “bbq chain” project.

I would choose a different and bigger vessel and forget about the on-top – on-top – on-top approach.

It just doesn’t look neat enough to think that a lot of attention to detail was implemented – I think you could make it prettier and more neat/tight if you go vertically and let it breath a bit.

Arranging wet and runny ingredients is tricky, you’re making this too hard on yourself I think.

i’d get rid of the coconut filling, cherry compote. so just cake, if it’s a bbq chain i’m assuming they’ll just reheat the cake to order in a microwave or pop it in an oven for a few minutes. unless they’re special ordering smoked vanilla ice cream that’ll turn into regular vanilla. the rum caramel would be incredibly easy for them to do, i would think they’ll just get caramel from sysco or a similar company and spike it themselves. or a pre made rum caramel. candied pecans they could do super easy or get some from a purveyor. i’d do a base of caramel sauce, square piece of cake (thinking they’ll bake it in a shallow hotel pain if they end up doing it in house), scoop ice cream, additional drizzle or caramel, chopped candied pecans
