UPDATE: Tutorial here!
So last week I saw on twitter that someone was getting ready to celebrate Daffodil Day on April 27th.
Whats this you say? I love daffodils!! I just knew I had to make a cake.
Well. Come to find out that Daffodil Day is actually a Canadian thing.
As I am a resident of the United States, this technically doesn’t apply to me.
But, (and more importantly) as I am a person in the human race and love other persons and don’t want anyone to suffer no matter what their nationality, I decided that I would be silly to not celebrate!
I thought this cake might also work for mothers day.
I know I am a mom and I like flowers and I like cake and I cant be that different from other moms right?
I just made a white cake with tinted buttercream. Then piped some stuff. And licked my fingers. And piped some more.
I am still in the thick of planning on what kind of treats to make for my mom for mothers day.
Since I have to travel for hours I might not bring a cake, but maybe cupcakes? Or maybe I will make her a cake and dedicate it to her but then just eat it.
It’s the thought that counts right?
Anyway, I made a 100 daffodils trying to make this cake and around flower #99 I think I figured out how to do it. I will have to see if I can replicate that and do a tutorial for you soon! (If you don’t want one tell me now, cause I am a lazy bones and I just want to sit around watching TV and reading the dozens of magazines I have piled up that look so good. But ya know, I could bake too.)
I was an intern at the ACS in my college days. I love Daffodil Days! Such a great cause. Your cake is absolutely beautiful!
Ok, so fill me in. Is the ACS the American Cancer Society? And they do Daffodil Days? See, I didnt know that! Are they going on right now too?? I will have to stop asking questions and just research it some more. 🙂
I agree! Absolutely GORGEOUS!!!
Daffodils are also the emblem of Marie Curie Cancer Care in the UK; a charity which, amongst other things, provides nursing care for terminally ill patients in their home/hospital. They do amazing things.
Love this cake 🙂
Oh cool Kathryn! Thank you for sharing that… it sounds like a really wonderful organization. I am learning a lot today, and so thankful for that! Blessings sweety!

Thank you Dana!
J’aime beaucoup (in french …; sorry ;))
What a beautiful cake! I’m loving Daffodil Day! 😀
Beautiful! Daffodils are my favorite flower and it makes me so happy to see them very spring. I would love to see your technique and see if I could figure it out myself.
So beautiful, Amanda! This is such a happy cake!
Looks great, you could do single daffodils on cupcakes to transport for Mother’s Day!
