Succulent Cake

This was an Arizona inspired cake. When I got asked to do this one I thought about all the memories I have of Arizona and most all of them went back to the unique plants that were there. (Also... speaking of plants in Arizona, did you know that if a cactus doesn't have visible spikes, it can still hurt really bad if you hug it? I did when I was in elementary school because I wanted a picture hugging a cactus and for hours after I was SOOOOO itchy. There are fine little hair prickles that stick to your skin. I think next time I'd prefer to get stabbed by a spike rather than have those little tiny prickles all over my arms.)
