We need visuals please what does it look like

[PrisonerOfHope]

Tell your wife to make one for you and you'll find out!

[emortimer]

after I read the ingredients I just about asked a question


so now I will


If you plant it will it grow?

Also what is rose water? Is that the water that is left in the vase after you pull the flower out???

I must live a sheltered life for I have never heard of flower cake before


HUGS ;D ;D
