I love spring!

I love spring! I love tulips, daffodils, lilies, and hydrangeas. I love when all the snow melts, when the grass turns green and the flowers start to open. I love listening to the birds chirp and the warmer days. Spring is my favorite season of the year. Today is a gorgeous spring day and to celebrate I am sharing my Garden Fairy cake with all of you.

My garden fairy with her pretty pearlized wings and a flower in her hair, sitting on some leaves among the daisies and mushrooms, while watching the caterpillars, snails, ladybugs, butterflies and bees.

I hope you like it as much as I do.
