There is just something about the holidays that makes my baking, interior décor side want to shine! Being a Cancer, DOB 6/26, I am naturally a homebody and nurturer but these traits of mine are particularly strong when the holiday season strikes. Something about the cool air, images of snowfall, fireplaces, and cozy blankets calls on me to deck out my home with festive trinkets and bake sweets, filling the air with sweet (think of another word so you don’t say sweet twice) smells to match the festive ambiance.
Last week I had the good fortune of stumbling upon the beautiful holiday Cake.
and I thought YES! Not only is it beautiful but it’s going to be delicious.
“I wonder if I can recreate this masterpiece, #PALEO Style?” I thought to myself. #Challenge Accepted. So here we go!
Behind the Scenes and final pictures posted below. I have also included a link to the original recipe and details about my modified PALEO Style Recipe below. ENJOY! Catch me on instagram stories for live action video updates.
