Take Time For Mom

I am recapping with some past spring teas this week for Mother's Day.  

"Honor your father and mother.  

Then you will live a long, full life in the land the Lord your God is giving you." ~Exodus 20:12

Treat your Mom good for Mother's Day!

A Naked Cake: Something Only A Mother Would Love

I have stumbled upon a trend with my "naked cakes".  I didn't realize they were so popular. I mean really it looks like I forgot to ice some of it.... This naked cake looked like it had blossoms strewn on the top.  The sort of blossoms that a toddler would pick for his Mother, you know the ones that have no stems.  

I always took these blossoms, from a child, with the highest of praise for the thoughtful gift. I always keep them on the counter floating in a glass of water.  

So my naked cake reminds me of something only a Mother would love; like that gift from her child during those tender years.

This cake is a French vanilla cake mix with a layer of seedless blackberry jam and regular vanilla icing.  The flowers on top are all edible; lilac, English daisy, and dianthus.  The pansy teacups are by Gracie china.

Do you have fond memories of a sweet child giving you a handful of blossoms?
