Beautiful, beautiful cake, gorgeous photos, and that last one just makes my heart sing.

The blue ribbon hanging from the pick like a sail, or hair ribbon, or a banner, is perfect.

Love this post.

I meant to add that the word turbinado is wonderful too.

It is perfect! I have to do that sometime...I hate frosting anyway. Is that a Wilton pan, because I'm sooooo gonna get one!

Love it!

I am such a fan of Nordic Ware cake pans..I have so many shapes I haven't even used once. Every time Williams Sonoma comes out with a new one I have to have it. It is such a weakness of mine..lol
