I'll bet it would be great with a lime twist, substituting orange with lime and kumquats with limequats. I'll be curious to hear results if you try it! Susan . . .

I am smitten and have been experimenting with many recipes, including one for cake that was a success. So, I'm especially excited about your poppy seed cake recipe here.

Now I'm torn whether just to get a step ladder and reach over or go knock on their door (in all fairness, though, they're a wonderful family and would without a doubt say "come an' get 'em!" . . . so perhaps I've overstated the drama ;-)). So fun to hear everyone's citrus stories! Now for the grapefruit tree down the street . . . You guys crack me up!

The house next door had an orange tree that looked almost as pretty as the one you picture. And you know what? We took an orange (with permission of course) and it wasn't very good. Really. Kind of bland. Disappointing really. I guess what I'm trying to say is don't bother coveting them. The expectation of the orange is much better than the actual orange.

In the summers, a friend and I go urban foraging around here for raspberries, currants, and crab apples. When we find a yard that is going unpicked, we knock on the door and ask for picking privileges and more often than not are happily welcomed. Maybe your neighbor will share (or trade for your wonderful sounding cake...). The kumquat sauce sounds particularly good, and I bet pair beautifully with the cake.
