I was asked to make a birthday cake for a very special lady. The requests were that it be Mrs. Mary Moon's pound cake recipe (yum!), blue (like the ones I've made before), and that it have a flower on it. So, naturally, I chose to try out a new flower/technique. A red poppy! Fun!
The poppy is entirely edible (except for the stamens) and even had some poppy seeds.
As I was making this poppy, I just kept thinking "what an amazing flower". What an amazing flower that God made and I get to recreate with sugar. What an awesome God.
And as I was baking the cake, I kept thinking "man, that smells good".... alas, it wasn't for me...
Happy Birthday, Mrs. K. You are truly a blessing.
Also, anyone else thinking about Poppy from Seinfeld? Nope? Just me? Darn.
Eee! I love it! I'm a cake decorator (home business) and i'm making a wedding cake for september 10th... with a wheat and poppies theme. I'm looking for a beautiful poppy for the top. Would you be willing to teach me, or lead me to a tutorial that would work??!? OH, please?
