orange basket citrus cake
(6 ratings)
My recipe is a combination of what i love: fondant, baking a good cake, and a design that captures the viewers eyes right away. I made this recipe and design on a summer day were I was inspired by the beautiful oranges that are still blossoming on hot summer days. My friends and especially my supportive family had a good bite of it, THEY LOVED IT!... Good for outdoor lunch with tea or a nice family picnic...=)
