ReplyDeleteLooks yummy Darling!
ReplyDeleteOh thankyou ! It's a bit of a fav. around here - and also works very well as cupcakes too !(20mins in cupcake tins instead of 45mins as a cake)
ReplyDeleteThis cake looks AMAZING. And how lucky you are to have Wisteria. They are beautiful. Thank you dearly for all your kind words. I cannot tell you how much they mean to me. Do not take notice of any missed opportunities- more are always on the way, no matter what stage you are in your life. Take pleasure in the fact that you have, at the very least, made someone smile.
