Love Cake May 2014

April was a bumper month for Love Cake and all the lovely creations are in this round up.

For those of you who haven't joined in before this a cake making challenge for anyone who loves to bake cakes and share them. You don't have to be a blogger to join in simply upload your photos and descriptions to your social media accounts. Full instructions are here.

“March winds and April showers, bring forth May's flowers”

I think that all of us in the UK have had our fill of wind and rain this year so this month's theme is based on the reward that May brings in the form of FLOWERS.

Think of flavours such as rosewater, lavender, orange blossom or elderflower. Using honey or jam flavoured with a particular type of blossom or petal will be accepted. If you don't want to flavour your cake with flowers then go mad with the decoration – fondant flowers or real ones be they edible or not. The Chelsea Flower Show is this month as well so that may provide you with some inspiration.

Here's how to join in:

1. Please make sure your entry conforms to this month's theme of FLOWERS.

2. Post your photographs and description on your blog, Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram, Tumblr or Google+ - just make sure they are for public viewing and can be seen by anyone. All photographs must be your own original image and not taken from another source. You can carefully style your photos or take a quick snap on your mobile – either is fine!

3. Enter the URL (web address) of your post into the Linky at the bottom of this post. Once the link closes on Wednesday 28^th May 2014 at 23:55 no more entries will be accepted.

4. If you are putting your post on your blog please display the Love Cake badge and link back to this blog post. Old posts are accepted but please update them with the Love Cake badge and link. This is a blog hop so share the cake love around if you can.

5. If you use Twitter, Facebook, Instagram or Google+ please tag me and I will retweet, Like, Share or +1 as appropriate. You can find me here:

At the end of the month I will do a round-up of all the entries and post it on this blog.
