Flower power

I've wanted to do a flower pot cake for a while now and the opportunity came up to make the cake as a surprise for my good friend's birthday. There are so many pictures on the Net for flower pot cakes and I had a good browse to decide exactly what I wanted to do.  My friend's daughters and sister helped to arrange the flowers on the cake as well as do the grass icing on the cupcakes.  Lots of potential cake decorators there! :)  It took a while to get the colour of the pot right and if I had more time, I would have made it a little neater, I think.  But all in all, a very nice surprise indeed!  Happy Birthday Priya!
