Birthday Cake!


Yesterday I made this raw blueberry and cream layer cake for someones special day!
I had little experience with layers, and trying something completely new on the day of the party left me slightly anxious  but totally excited at the possibility of it actually working!

The Crust is made of brazil nuts and medjool dates...
The cream layer is activated cashews, lemon juice, vanilla bean, banana, cacao butter and agave...
The blueberry layer is just that... With some orange zest, chia seeds and coconut oil...

Using the freezer I was able to rather quickly set each layer before adding the next one.
It was also handy to keep the remaining mixtures in a warm spot so they did not set on the bench and could then be more easily spread on top of the delicate layer below.
