Did you know that the state flower of Kansas is the sunflower? Well, sunflowers also make very yummy and cute cakes! My mom came up with idea of doing a sunflower cake for one of my daughter's birthday and so we went straight to work.
Thankfully, the local confectionery store has large selection of masonite boards for cakes of all sizes. I used 2- 10" in round cake pans for the head of the flower and in between the two cakes layers we put frosted triangle cookies for the petals. The flower is covered with chocolate and peanut butter chips. The stem and leaves were cut from two 9x13 rectangle cakes after they were frozen.
One thing to keep in mind when you make one this big is where it will be stored. It did make it into the fridge, but just barely. Overall, this was a fairly easy and fun cake to make.
