Leave cool and serve.

My son's B'day cake

My son had a second Birthday and I want something special for him. I decided for Lemon and Almond cake with Cashew & Coconut cream and fresh raspberries. I love decorating cakes with dairy free chocolate and this time I found white chocolate in Tesco for Lego men and then I used 74% cocoa chocolate for Lego men and the rest of decoration. Then I used fresh strawberries, raspberries and blueberries.
