Celebrating Fall with a cake
Is there anything as wonderful as welcoming Fall after a long hot summer! Although it is still hot there is definitely a change. The ever so subtle change in the air and even a bit of color in the trees, which, I really contribute to the dry weather. Ever so slight, I am grateful to know Fall is knocking and I am looking forward to the cool crisp air that comes with it.
So to celebrate this glorious season I decided to decorate a cake. Not bake a cake, it's to hot! I had several layers in the freezer so I wanted to give a nod to Fall. I never leave these long in my freezer for fear of them coming out stale. Perfect, I can use these flowers to decorate and enjoy. Of course, anytime you decorate with flowers make sure they are editable, these are not! This was play time.
I was going for a naked look cake, like my sister makes. No icing on the sides, mostly between layers. The cake finished up somewhere in-between. Ceramic mushrooms, sprinkles and sprigs of lavender from my garden for the final touch.
I love using this heavy glass sunflower pitcher my sweet Mother-in-law gifted me years ago. Perfect for the extra flowers.
Thanks for stopping by. I do hope you will leave a comment, it's the only way I know you dropped in.
Happy Fall!
