A Slice of Cherry Pie is hosting her annual Easter Cake Bake Challenge and this is my entry.
The cake is flavoured with lemon zest and lemon juice and then topped with lemon flavoured and tinted icing. The inspiration for the all lemon cake came from the pretty miniature spring flowers in my garden.
I decided not to crystallize the flowers but to just brush and wash them under a running tap. Shake off any excess water and leave to dry on kitchen towel. Cut the stems to the required length and wire the stems of the flowers.
Here are my cakes from the previous Easter Cake Bake challenges.
Happy Easter.

I love your cake, the flowers look so fresh.
This looks so fresh and cheerful, I especially like the viola flowers on the cake. I've just had a look at all your other Easter cakes, the amaretto one looks amazing.
