Foodie Friday: Bloggers' Recipes Plus What Am I?

Let's play a foodie game called
What Am I?

Am I leftover scenery from the film Avatar?

Or ...

Am I scrambled eggs?


Maybe I'm the hottest color from Sherwin Williams, "Sculpted Pea?"

Or...


Am I an angel's wings?


Could I be the blob that ate New Jersey?



Or a cupcake?

(Y'all are getting hotter.)

Am I a cake from Publix?


Answer: I'm an.....
(I know y'all have guessed)

Itsy bitsy sunflower cake with an icing bee.


Here are a few of the outstanding entries from the 3rd photography contest (mosaics). Big and Bandwidth had a very difficult time choosing the winners. They loved them all, including photos that weren't mosaics.
[edited to add: I forgot the mosaic. :-/ ]



The picnic basket goes to Scene of the Grime.



Suzy at Kitchen Bouquet and Butter Yum are the runners up. Let me know if you prefer Le Creuset prep bowls or tablecloth weights.

Great photos! Congratulations to the winners!
Cute cake. We don't have Publix here but I've seen several desserts on blogs recently that came from that store. Nice to have a resource like that close by when one is in a crunch or simply not in the mood. :-)
Hope all is well. ~ Sarah

Bonnie said...

Thanks for hosting! I just did my first Foodie Friday link. Nothing spectacular but oh, so good!!

Cathy said...

Great shots of a very cute little cake. Love this post, Michael. We don't have Publix here and our local bakery doesn't get very creative.

Shellbelle said...

Congrats to ALL the winners, I would've had a tough time choosing also. So much talent out there in blogland.

Love Publix cakes! I can never resist picking up a cupcake when I do my shopping and then savoring it one bite at a time. When my birthday rolls around, that's where my cake MUST come from. You have no idea how happy I was that I have a Publix here in my new town.

Oystergirl said...

Awesome stuff!! Everyone is so creative! I love it! Thanks again for sharing your space with us on this lovely friday! My article is about tea and herbal infusions. Enjoy the weekend folks!

Roberta said...

Oh my how did they get that green frosting...it would have gone so well with my party for my photo mosaic...lol Congrats to the winners and be sure to have a "carpet picnic" in my behalf...oh la la Have a great weekend everyone...I'm off to check out this weeks recipes because I so need some cooking mojo! Fondly, Roberta

Inspired2cook said...

Great job on the cake! My boys would fight over who got to eat the bee so I'd have to put 2 of them on the cake. Have a great weekend!!

Self Sagacity said...

The guessing game was fun! But knowing your posts I knew right off the bat that it has to be some decadently delicious tasting and looking cake!
