Blueberry and Peach Flan

I don't know what I would do without my mother and her fabulous recipes. This is a light dessert that is very appropriate for spring. I used a special kind of fluted cake pan that allows you to pour any cream filling into the base of the cake. I called this a flan, mostly because I used the fluted flan pan(try saying that five times fast) You can find this pans in 11" here.

I'll leave it at that, because this cake speaks for itself:)
