Everything's Coming Up Roses

When I see a recipe I want to make, I usually make it within the following couple of days.

Not today.

Today, I made it within the following couple of hours.  And the "it" I'm referring to, is a Rose Pound Cake.  I've always wanted to try something with rosewater in it, and today I did, but first things first.

First I had to make some rose bud tea.  Luckily, I already had rose buds on hand (I had made rose sugar as a gift for Christmas, along with lavender sugar).




Then, because now I can't get enough of rosewater anything, I found a recipe for, made and drank a Rose Spritzer while I baked.





Finally, the cake was done.




 I had my official taste-tester taste it...



Success.  Again, my impatience pays off.
