I wanted to make something romantic, and not from my usual gluten-free mixes, for dessert after dinner tonight. I remembered a recipe for a pineapple upside-down cake cooked in a cast iron skillet. Instead of the canned pineapple rings I substituted slices of fresh pear and put orange flavored craisins in the center to give the appearance of a blooming flower.
I made the recipe half again as much as ingredients called for, since I had a 12 inch skillet instead of a 10 inch. That is something done with much trepidation in gluten-free cooking. Slight changes can be disastrous. I let the cake cook 5 minutes longer because of the bigger size. Then I let it cool while I prayed that it would release with the design intact and the cake throughly done.
Oh, Manna! God blessed my efforts!
Can't wait to share it with my honey.

How sweet are your words to my taste,
sweeter than honey to my mouth!
