"1 cup plain flower" you mean roses, tullips...?
Roses of course, Hmm, better make a correction, still it's nice to know people actually read.
I think this could have been presented better. I would have moved the matches and all of the utensils around it and then came in closer to the cake so that the background would have been blurred. Possibly even put a plain tablecloth under it and had someone hold one side of the tablecloth up for your background.
You are of course right, but this was taken just as it started to pour down, I have other photos taken inside, but they all have people in them.
Howdie stranger!
