No this isn't an insanely belated Easter post, I promise! (But on that note, how did chicks and eggs get involved in a holiday that celebrates the resurrection of a Jewish prophet?)
My wonderful friend and former coworker Jessica is an urban chicken farmer. Now if you aren't hip to the newest city trend or haven't seen an episode of Portlandia, that means she is raising chickens in her backyard smack dab in the middle of Seattle. She's not a country bumpkin, but just someone who likes her eggs fresh!
I wouldn't have the patience to raise the chickens, wait for them to start actually producing eggs, etc, but I did have the patience to make her a birthday confection she won't soon forget!
Vanilla cupcakes, vanilla buttercream and topped with either toasted coconut or yellow sparkles. Roasted almonds for a beak and candies for a crown.

What was your favorite birthday cake or confection? Not enough of a spring chicken to remember? That's ok too, it's probably because you haven't had a PoppyCake for your birthday yet! :)
