*There is a language, little known,
Lovers claim it as their own.
Its symbols smile upon the land,
Wrought by nature’s wondrous hand;
And in their silent beauty speak,
Of life and joy, to those who seek
For Love Divine and sunny hours
In the language of the flowers.
The Language of Flowers, London, 1875*

Mini Sandwich Cakes (Smorgastarta)
1 tube Pillsbury Grands! Flaky Layers Biscuits
2 cups filling (chicken, ham, egg, or tuna salad)
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup sour cream
1 pinch salt
vegetables, decorations fruits, nuts, herbs, cheese, eggs, etc.
Directions
Bake Pillsbury Biscuits according to the directions on the package. Allow them to cool completely.
Using a round cookie cutter or knife, cut 2 1/2 inch circles out of the center of your biscuits, then cut each biscuit into 2 layers.
Create sandwiches by layering one biscuit, some filling, another biscuit, more filling and a top biscuit.
Use a spatula or knife to scrape off any filling that has oozed outside of the edges of the bread. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to several hours.
When, ready, make your frosting. Beat cream cheese, sour cream, and a pinch of salt together until nice and fluffy. Remove sandwiches from the refrigerator and frost the sides and top of each.
Place sandwich cakes in an airtight container and refrigerate for an hour or up to 24 hours.
Decorate the tops and sides of the cakes using vegetables, fruits, nuts, cheese, meat, shrimp, etc.
If you’ve used a variety of fillings, you can cut your mini sandwich cakes into slices and serve your guests or simply give each guest one cake to enjoy.

Goodbye spring… hello hotness! I just know how much you love the hot weather, Wicca… LOL! About as much as anyone would like a leather seat that sat out in the sun.
