A Different Kind of Art


This weekend I was busy creating another kind of art! I was so inspired by Jenefer Taylor at Bluem Malibu (also known as "the girl with the cakes") that I had to try my hand at a fresh flower cake for my sweet daughter in law's birthday. I made an olive oil lemon cake with home-made butter cream lemon frosting. I definitely need to invest in one of those fancy scrapers to make the frosting smoother. I didn't have time to source fresh edible flowers, so I cut a circle of parchment paper to go between the pre -washed flowers and the cake. I also wrapped the stems in a white 1/4 inch painter's tape before inserting them into the cake, so that everything was safe and clean. It was SOOOOO yummy!! I learned so much and can't wait to try another.
