Cake 'o' Roses

We spent a lovely afternoon at Marty's and Janet's house. Cousins from Arizona are visiting and we enjoyed an afternoon of conversation together. For lunch we had haystacks and chocolate cake. It seems like everyone enjoys my gluten-free chcolate cake, even though all but Brent are allowed gluten in their diet. I was fortunate to be able to still find miniature roses in my garden for cake decorating, even though we had a pretty heavy frost last night. It won't be long until all my roses die off and are gone until next spring. I guess I'll have to start baking lemon poppy seed cakes instead and find other, more seasonal items for cake decor.
