Serve this enchanting Peter Rabbit Cake w/ marzipan fruits and vegetables.
Making marzipan Peter is a challenge....or just buy a candy rabbit or figurine.
Mr McGregor's fence round the cake and the perky jonquils can also be made of marzipan.
“The weather has been weird this year. July and August are usually drought months and really hot, even the nights. This year we have actually had rain and the temps are not as high, especially the nights-which are in the 60s and moderate 70s.”
Same here in my part of Va.
Usually in July/August we just get the occasional thunderstorm to break the monotony of blazing heat and lung sucking humidity.
So far this year it seems like we get a couple of weeks of normal weather followed by a solid week of rain.
Constant flood warnings from the Blue Ridge mtns to Lynchburg and beyond.
We just finished up a solid week of overcast skies and near constant rain.
