40 Cherry Blossoms

There are not 40 blossoms on the cake. The Japanese symbols represent "40" which was the birthday gal's age. Shhhhhh, don't tell! Used the Chai Tea Cake recipe here on CC but cake has not been cut as of this upload. I'll let you know how they liked it. The branches and symbols are made out of modeling chocolate a friend gave me. I love that stuff! Icing is flavored with chai tea covered in MMF. Blossoms are also MMF. TFL
