The Cake Bar
I just got a good idea for mother’s day

1) This is really really versatile you can really switch up the ingredients (use whatever fruits you like, combine flavors)

2) It can be healthy (or not)

3) you can serve them as a whole cake, trifle, cake shooters, cake parfaits, cake in a jar etc… 

Check it out:
