My creative niece, Tagan, made this fabulous flower basket wedding cake for her sister, Tessa, when she was married. \u00a0I loved the idea and have made it for holidays ever since. \u00a0It’s so nice because you can vary the flowers according to the seasons. \u00a0As you can see, it’s lovely for holidays, birthdays, and I think it’s a perfectly appropriate wedding cake too!<\/p>\n

Tessa and Adam cutting into their cake, are an extraordinarily beautiful couple!<\/p>\n
Begin by washing and drip-drying several bunches of flowers from your garden or local market. Next, bake a 2, 3, or even 4-layer cake of your choice. I made my favorite chocolate cake, (recipe below) but I also like banana-nut, carrot, hummingbird, luscious lemon, really, whatever your heart desires! Line the cake plate with wax paper. I used 3 strips for easy removal.<\/p>\n

The Spring Flower Show is on at Macy’s in Manhattan this week. A chunk of my heart is there! Spring is my favorite time of the year and I think this is my very favorite cake to make. Thanks Tagan for a fun idea.<\/p>\n
