Flower Cakes

At the Spring Gardening Show on Saturday, we went into the Flora Art section. Over done, Most of them were 6 ft tall and have lots of bits of ironwork involved. Not something for the home, more for a hotel lobby.  Not many people looking at them.

But against the wall was a row of tables and something small which there was a big crowd round. And this is a photo of the First Prize entry which is a 'chocolate cake' made of real flowers and leaves. and definitely not edible Even the little curls of chocolate round the base are actually dried and rolled up leaves. And there are two more photos below.

I forgot to take my camera. These photos were taken on a mobile (!!!) by Robert Long, emailed to my daughter, Anne, who processed them and emailed them back!! Worth the effort though.

This is another prize winner. Everyone was leaving with a smile on their face. What higher praise can you give?
