Sakura


On March 27, 1912 Mayor Yukio Ozaki of Tokyo donated hundreds of Japanese Cherry Trees to Washington DC. The trees were an effort to enhance and celebrate the growing friendship between the United States and Japan. Today the National Cherry Blossom Festival began and swarms of people found their way to the tidal basin next to the Jefferson Memorial here in DC to take part in this annual display of natural splendor. Today I also got to make this cake patterned after a cherry blossom invitation..
