Elrond’s Feast: Pistachio and Rose Water Cake

Menu for Elrond’s Feast

I love the combination of pistachio and rose and when I saw that they actually had small cakes served during Elrond’s feast, I knew I had to make this cake.  The rose in this cake is not very strong so for those that are unsure about the flavor then this is a good cake to try first.
