Sugar High Friday #30 - Flower Power
I’m excited about hosting this month’s Sugar High Friday - a worldwide blog event created by the divine Domestic Goddess herself, this event has had some terrific themes in the past including Caramel, Coffee, Ginger and of course Dark Chocolate.
This month’s theme is inspired by the beautiful Spring weather we’ve been enjoying recently, hopefully those of us who are still struggling with winter blues can shrug off those warm scarves and get in the kitchen to participate in this month’s theme - Flower Power. This theme has little to do with psychedelic rock music and a lot more to do with using flowers or floral extracts in any shape or form in a sweet treat - go crazy with roses, lavender and saffron; make and use ethereal candied flowers and if all else fails, pipe delicate violets and daisies on your favorite cupcake. Derive inspiration from anything that is blooming and full of life this Spring, the ideas are endless, let your inner flower child loose!
Here’s what you do to participate -
- Write about your SHF #30 entry on your blog by April 23rd, including a link to this post.
- The deadline for submissions is April 23rd and the round-up will be posted on April 27th.
- Please send me an email at mona[dot]coconutchutney[at]gmail[dot]com with the following details - Name, Blog’s Name, Permalink and Location.
- Include a 100 * 100 pixel image of your entry.
- Non-blogger’s please email me your recipe, name and location and I’ll be glad to include that in the final round-up.
All right people, let the Spring kitchen festivities begin!

I wish you could join in the fun, but sometimes life does get in the way. The deadline is in the last week of April, so you still have plenty of time if you change your mind.

Shook off the winter blues alright but I have got Allergy blues!!;D Can’t shake that off until mid June dear girl.
Anyway,this event sounds good.I am not good at baking or piping flowers.But let me see if I can get a cup cake or cookie to do the required!:))

. If you can count, you can bake - go ahead and give it a try.
Sorry about your allergies Asha, don’t get inspired by them for SHF though

Monisha,
I love the theme you’ve chosen!!! Happy April!

Thank you for such a great theme…not that there is anything wrong with chocolate but a change is always welcome!
on April 9th, 2007 at 4:13 pm
Lovely! Does it have to be the actual flowers? Can something (non-flower) made into the shape of a flower be considered? Would love to join in the fun!

Great theme. I’ll start thinking about what to bake right now!

Hi! I read your post and found it really interesting. Concierge services like office concierge and corporate concierge are really a great demand these days by corporations especially the executives. Hope this service doesn’t become a habit.

I would love to have a green room. I am a first time mother and I have an eight month old. I work at Narconon drug rehab five days a week and can’t seem to find the time to spend in a garden or green room. I feel like I can’t even find enough time to spend with my son much less an extracurricular activity. Does anyone have any pointers as to how I can manage all the above better?
