Ok, that's the longest post name so far. I thought I'd try making some cake for the Paradox tomorrow. After all, I'm selling at a cafe in the morning, and people tend to buy pastries then. I know I would.
This contains orange blossom water, my favorite ingredient.

This looks fabulous! Citrus and poppy seeds in cake form, one of my favorite combinations.
