A Lovely Dessert Idea!
A cake made with only fresh fruit is a refreshing dessert that will impress your family and friends as soon as it hits the table.
We love having something sweet and refreshing after every meal, and fresh fruit is always welcome. It’s the Italian way! What better way to serve a healthy dessert?
Of course, we can’t take the credit for this cake. It was my daughter’s friend, Stephanie who made this awesome fruit “cake” and brought it over to serve as part of our dessert table.
Everyone loved it! She was so sweet! And, of course – we just had to share it with you! Thanks again, Stephanie!
