A Springy Easter Cake!

Besides cleaning and decorating for Easter this week,

I have been making food.  I always make no bake cookies in the shape of nests,

which I will show you later.

And I baked two hams today.

Easy Peasy Green Bean Casserole tomorrow.

For my Five on Friday I thought I'd share with you the cake I made.

I'm joining FAST blog with Five on Friday so here we go...

Let's talk cake.

One!

This year I decided I was going to make a cake. 

And I was going to make it in three different colors. 

I saw this on Pinterest.

And one evening  earlier this week I decided I would bake the cakes.

And I forgot I was going to color the layers, until I sat down  my computer and looked at the cakes on the counter top.....DOH!

I put the three cakes in the freezer because I made them earlier in the week. 

The fourth one,

we ate.

TWO

I hatched a Plan B.

 A couple of nights ago I started melting colored white chocolate

and using cookie cutters to make Eastery/springy shapes.

THREE

Today I got the cake out of the freezer and used a recipe from Martha Stewart's cake book for the icing.  I also used a recipe from her cake book for the vanilla cake.  I tinted the icing green.

FOUR!

 Then I started with the biggest flowers and pressed them into the icing.

 I did it with the smaller flowers and bunnies and such.

Then I decided to add some grass.  So I melted some green white chocolate, and before it completely hardened, I took a steak knife and made blades.

FIVE

TA DAH!

I think it turned out pretty cute! 

 These will go on in the morning. 

I put the cake in the fridge for the night.

I don't know if you can see the recipes or not in these pictures.

They came from this book.

Happy Easter
