Happy Birthday Mom
Happy Birthday Mom!!! We love you so much and are happy you loved your nutty cake!
I really had too much fun decorating this cake! I love how organic and simple it is, but also how it feels elegant too.
For years I would focus on all the things you can buy to decorate cakes, now I like to poke around our pantry and see what I can use. Donโt get me wrong... I still love sprinkles and all the other goodies! ๐
The flower is made out of bay leaves and nutmeg. On top of the cake I sprinkled crushed pistachios, whole pumpkin seeds, as well as raw and coconut sugar. Around the edges I used more crushed pistachios and pumpkin seeds, then added some maple almonds to go along with the maple icing.
What do you think? Too nutty or perfectly nutty (and seedy)? ๐
