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.

    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

  33. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  34. 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.
