you can eat many flowers, i often put roseflower leaves in cocktails or over salad for a nice look. you can also make jelly with it - why not with cherryblossoms? ;)
the cake looks like it screams "EAT ME! EAT ME INSTANTLY!"

*phew* i think i´ll have a cup of tea and some cake right now....

Hi Mimie.
It's so beautiful, isn't it?
Maybe you can create new soap with the inspiration of Sakura cake???

Frau Vau said...

indeed i had sacher-torte (don´t know if there´s an english word for it...) it´s *yummyummy* and it´s a THICK and RICH chocolate cake, spread with jelly and covered with chocolate. i LOVE it!
plus i had a black tea, which i truly love most.

Wow those look amazingly beautiful.
I wouldn't want to eat those, just keep them to look at.
Who am i kidding? I wouldn't be able to resist. (and most likely they won't stay looking beautiful if you keep them forever.)
Lovely.

hello natacha said...

For me it's art. So beautiful!

Hi madhatter.
Yes, I know "sacher-torte" as I used to travel to Vienna and Germany on business. I like the cake, too. Actually, I had it when our co-workers were visiting us here in Tokyo from German HQ. Umm, yum yum!!

Kumi said...

Hi ismoyo.
I know they're too pretty to eat!!
But who cannot resist?
Not me!
I love eating, too!
He he he!

Kumi said...

Bonjour, Natacha.
Umm, yes, it's an art, too.
Isn't it so beautiful just looking at?

What a pretty dessert - what is it made of?

Kumi said...

Hi Kathleen Marie.
The tea has a beautiful smell from Sakura. Every time you leave a comment, I always remember my days in Lake Mary, FL! Thanks for visiting again!

Hi Larissa.
I didn't try, so I'm not sure the taste. I hope it's yum, too.
But I feel so much happiness as long as I look at this beautiful sweets!

Kumi said...

Hi Anne.
I guess it's a kind of jelly cake.
It didn't have any recipe so I'm just guessing!!
