Mother's Day

I don't think there could be a more perfect time of year to celebrate mothers.  The trees are budding and the flowers are in bloom all over town!  I know that my mother loves this time of year, and loves to spend as much time as possible outside working in her flower garden.  She has passed that passion on to me, so when I was designing a cake to celebrate Mother's Day for the shop, I knew it had to be covered in beautiful buttercream flowers.  I love how cakes with this pastel design have such a soft, Victorian feel.

As another homage to my mother, I've put together a cookie basket with garden-themed cookies in a little pail.  It's perfect for summertime, and re-usable as well!
