Cherry Blossom, Love Bird Cake

I have a picture of a Cherry Blossom tree hanging in our guest bathroom and I just love it and I have always wanted to make some cookies like it.  Well, I have never gotten around to it and then I decided I would make a cake with the said Cherry Blossom tree.  


I  am not a big "V-Day" person.  I like the history of Valentine secretly marrying the young men to their sweethearts (sadly he was later martyred for it).  That's where it ends; Husband and I do not buy into the hype. No dinner date, no dressing up, no gifts (usually,) no flowers, and no candy (unless I buy it for this blog).  However, I love pink and red and who doesn't like hearts?  So, I do make a lot of Valentine treats!


So here was the cake I made for our dessert! A Cherry Blossom tree with two little love birds!
