I have stumbled upon a trend with my "naked cakes". I didn't realize they were so popular. I mean really it looks like I forgot to ice some of it.... This naked cake looked like it had blossoms strewn on the top. The sort of blossoms that a toddler would pick for his Mother, you know the ones that have no stems. 
I always took these blossoms, from a child, with the highest of praise for the thoughtful gift. I always keep them on the counter floating in a glass of water.
So my naked cake reminds me of something only a Mother would love; like that gift from her child during those tender years.
This cake is a French vanilla cake mix with a layer of seedless blackberry jam and regular vanilla icing. The flowers on top are all edible; lilac, English daisy, and dianthus. The pansy teacups are by Gracie china.
Do you have fond memories of a sweet child giving you a handful of blossoms?
