Hydrangea Cakes

These Hydrangea Cakes are gorgeous miniature cakes that look like hydrangea flowers! You’ll be surprised to learn how easy it is to make the pretty, colorful blossom design on the outside. The inside is beautiful, too, with swirls of multicolored cake!

This year is FLYING by. I can’t believe spring is almost over already. (And more importantly, I can’t believe it’s almost summer vacation and my boys—husband and son alike—will soon be out of school and home all day. Hold me!)
