This looks/sounds truly divine!! Cream cheese always adds an extra touch of goodness to anything :-)

I like entering cooking contests as well--where do you usually enter them at??

I've had several ideas for baking with pomegranates...but I honestly just never get around to using them! The arils always end up as a snack first!

Such pretty roses....I think that the Farmers Almanac is calling for a cold winter! Your cake looks wonderful and is a terrific idea. Love the white chocolate and nuts. Have a wonderful holiday Emily!

Thanks everyone!

Sue, that's so weird. It should have been there by now. :o I've never had a persimmon before. I bet they taste like tomatoes.

MM, I heart you.

C&T, uh, yeah! Of course I will. Can I have free chocolates?

Lorie, I'm just now getting back into it. I didn't enter any for about two months.

Shannon, the Pom people say to slice off the very top of the pomegranate, slice it like an orange, submerge it into water, and take out the arils that way. The arils will sink to the bottom, and your hands won't be stained red. Honestly, I didn't do it that way. I sliced it like an orange and picked out each aril. It was messy and fun. I think Martha Stewart says to bang the fruit on a hard surface and the arils will get knocked out. I haven't tried that yet.

I just had some flowers bloomin', too. I think we (we're pretty close, Lawrence, KS), but I think we just haven't had some real serious nightly freezes.
Anyway, boring weather talk aside---HOLY cake! Love it. Good luck with the contest!
I've thought about entering it.
Now I know what I'd be up against. ;)

Great looking cake. I like the cranberries soaking in the juice thing, that's an awesome idea. This has secret winner all over it :)

How do you get the seeds out of the pomegranate? You're probably an expert by now with all the pomegranate recipes you've posted lately, so I was just wondering if you have any tips or tricks for getting them out without making a big mess.

Gorgeous flowers -- and that cake!!! NOM NOM NOM!

Gorgeous roses. I was visiting Kevin's brother in chilly Chicago two years ago in October and it was 90 degrees and roses were still in bloom. Considering the last time I was there at that time it was so cold I had to borrow a heavy coat from Kevin's SIL, I think it was very weird. Climate Change, baby!

Love your crumb cake. Those macadamia nuts in the topping! Woo hoo. I'm in love. Good luck with the contest.

I have not entered a single contest in over a month. I know there are deadlines closing all the time and I can't seem to get in the groove.

You cake looks really, really good. I hope you win. I doubt I enter this one.

Seriously? Can you just move out to Portland and be my neighbor? I would give my left arm for some of this cake right now. Oh, and I'd be a great taste tester for all your contest recipes! Or at least an enthusiastic one!

Everything in this post is so pretty! I have been seeing so many pomegranate recipes popping up, and wonder how many of them are also entering the POM contest. Good luck!

The roses look beautiful, but yes it's a bit suspisious... It's also suspisious that today I went to have a walk on the beach and not only I was in a tshirt but I got red from the sun on my nose... In November!!! Anyway, that cake is brilliant! I'm sure white chocolate and pomegranate go really together!
