This is my first year growing and eating nasturtiums. I love them. They have a peppery taste. I like to add them to my salad. Decorating the cupcakes with them was fun. My favorite question, "Mom, can we really eat this flower?"
Flowers always make people better, happier and more helpful; they are sunshine, food and medicine to the soul.

Well Carla, the flower looks so pretty on the cakes. The quote is a good one. Your recipes look great. My daughters do the baking these days. I am doing good to make mix muffins. LOL. Blessings to you and yours, stay safe, xoxo, Susie

I love that the cupcakes are one bowl and easy. The Nasturtiums are too pretty to eat! I have eaten candied pansies on a cake.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the recipes. That's pretty interesting on the flavor of the nasturtiums.
ReplyDeleteThese have the prettiest blooms! I hiked this morning and took wildflower photos as I walked!
ReplyDeleteSound yummy but I'll have to ask my American DIL (or google!) what half and half is lol
ReplyDeleteThanks for the recipe Carla. The Nasturtiums are an added bonus. Happy Friday and have a great weekend.

ReplyDeleteYour cupcakes look so good! And so pretty with the flower. I've never tasted any flower as I am always worried they will just taste to "floral". But with a peppery taste, you have me curious and wanting to try this flower!
ReplyDeleteLovely cupcakes. Thank you for sharing the recipe. Wishing you health and happiness.
