It's coming up... poppies!

This cake seriously moved me, because it was for her Mother-In-Law. Now I've had bad in-laws before, I have, and I get the whole stereotype for them and everything, but this time around I am blessed with great in-laws, and it makes me so happy everytime I come across others who have such a good relationship with their in-laws. Family is family, whether you're married into it or not, and I wish more people realized that.

This cake turned out terrific! It's classy and understated with a bright pop of color in the form of... you guessed it, Poppies! (There's a story behind them that made it even more touching!).

I absolutely love this quilting with the black brads (chocolate buttercream). They give the cake a lovely texture. 

These poppies were made using the same method I use for my gum paste roses. They're adorable, and the center is chocolate buttercream as well.
