May Day & Mother’s Day: Beautiful Blooms and Cake for May

Apparently here in the Pacific Northwest our rain totals for April are below average, nonetheless I have had the saying “April showers bring May flowers” on my mind. This led me to think about combining the beauty of flowers with cake and what better time to do that with May Day and Mothers Day approaching!

With some looking around the internet at edible flower recipes for inspiration and a Sunday visit to a local organic flower farm, to collect some beautiful blooms, I set to work creating.

See our Mom’s Day Specials and ordering instructions at the bottom of page.

Lilac Lemon Cake with fresh Blueberry

Our featured cake flavor for May incorporates the delicate floral scent of lilacs. Did you know lilacs are edible? I didn’t either until I stumbled across a recipe for lilac syrup. I decided to pair this subtle floral note with our Light and Lovely Lemon Cake and a fresh made blueberry compote. Each lemon layer is brushed with the lilac syrup. These flavors delicately meld together perfectly.

Lilacs grown in my own garden and beautiful golden Ranunculus from Petal & Pitchfork Farms in Poulsbo, WA.
