Sunflower Surprise

When I was told it was our neighbor's birthday, I knew I had to make her a cake.  But what to make?  I decided that everyone loves a sunflower and so this idea was born.  I photographed the process step by step, to show how the cake was filled with chocolate ganache.  The recipe was yellow cake with the ganache filling, buttercream frosting and the sunflowers have chocolate ganache centers.
Terry was surprised and that's a good thing!
