Sunflower Cake

I didn't technically make this cake but wanted to include it in my blog as I thought the design was just so unusual and fabulous!  My friend James asked me to supervise him in making a cake for a couple who had just had their first baby, Dharma.  Dharma's mum's favourite flowers are sunflowers so James wanted to incorporate these into the cake.  This was the result!


We cut up a pineapple into really thin slices and gently baked it in the oven, then covered a cake with the pineapple 'sunflowers'.  James also made letters by flooding some royal icing - he was very proud! I hear the cake went down very well with the new parents too!
