Spring Themed Cake

First cake we decorated in my cake decorating class at school. Spring themed, I chose a simple saying and forget-me-not flowers.

Candied Orange Peel

This made not only the orange rind, but some orange sugar, and orange syrup.

Spicy Cocoa Roasted Almonds

Roasted Chickpeas

I've made this recipe twice now, and oh my gosh they are so good, and were gone in 2-3 days. They seem to shrink, so it doesn't make as much as I would like. I may start making larger batches, but who knows.
