A pretty floral birthday cake.

You don't have to be a professional cake decorator in order to serve a lovely cake.  Here's a simple solution from the garden.

Simply make any cake using a bundt pan.  Frost the cake and insert a small jar or glass into the middle of the cake.  Gently place some flowers into the vessel with water and your cake is suitable for any spring or summer affair!  Note - Pansies are edible, however, hydrangeas are not and were used for presentation only.  Be sure not to serve any flowers that may be toxic to humans!
