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.)
It would be really beautiful to have the daffodil stems floating down the sides of the cake!
Hello! I’m not sure if you’ve done a post on this already but how do you get the frosting on the sides so wonderfully smooth?
Yes, please teach us how to do this I must make this next Easter, it is beautiful!
Beautiful cake! Daffodil cake here at a local bakery is a marbled sponge/angel food cake with lemon buttercream frosting. Yummy.
Another fun and whimsical cake by you. I miss your frequent posts that we got pre-baby pre-book but then again growth is a part of life and I would say a baby and book are growth. Thanks for sharing.
I love the way you did those daffodils! I’ve only ever tried the Wilton method, but yours are so much prettier.
No relaxing for you! Get busy on that tutorial! HA!
This cake is beautiful……I, too, love daffodils! And the pretty green was perfect for the base! Lovely!
Daffodil days is new to me, but an excuse to feast my eyes on your beautiful cake decorating, I will take. I love the colors too!
Love, love, LOVE this!! And here in Ireland we celebrate Daffodil Day, too. 🙂
We celebrate Daffodil Day in August here in Australia. I’m filing away your beautifully inspiring cake until the time comes to raise some money at work.
A work of art.
