When thinking about decorations I knew I had to use fondant because DeeDee is the only person I know that really likes it. I'm really into making fondant flowers lately so decided on sunflowers. If I had to pick a flower that makes me think of DeeDee it would definitely be sunflowers. Maybe it's the solar-powered thing, maybe not, but it just seems right.
Here's how it turned out:
I was really pleased with it. If I had had more time I would have added leaves around the side but (as usual) I was working right up until it was time to leave so I couldn't do that. Still, maybe my favorite cake I've made so far.
Side note: The awesome thing about making lemon curd (which contains a lot of egg yolks) is leftover egg whites with which to make angel food cake....which you can put the lemon curd upon! Yum!!
On your side note - oh yes! Ever since I found a few bags of meyer lemons at our whole foods, our house has been filled with lemon curd making and angel food cakes!
ReplyDeleteRight? It's just wasteful not to do it! :-) Do you have a GF angel food cake recipe? If you do (and are willing to share) I'd love to give it a try!
DeleteYay! Thanks Mo! It was an AWESOME cake and we just finished off the leftovers last night. I shared it with Geoff... but not the flowers... I ate all of those :-)
