Everyone needs a group of friends who inspire you in new and unique ways. I have my frugal friends, my creative friends, my “iron sharpens iron” friends and I even have ladies who continually challenge me in wonderful ways to eat real, whole food. Now, I’ll never cross over to a completely whole food, all the time diet, but I sure know it’s best.
When these ladies gathered together to celebrate the birthday of my whole food friend lover, one of our girlfriends blessed her with this beautiful fresh fruit creation.
Isn’t it gorgeous?
She definitely didn’t sacrifice a traditional birthday treat just because she’d prefer to eat her kind of “cake” in its truest form.
I love this Fresh Fruit Cake alternative because so many are eating Vegan, Paleo, Gluten Free, Dairy free, as well as giving the Whole 30 experiment a try, and this allows the cake tradition to continue.
Personally, this is the perfect option for when I choose to follow my 17 day diet. You sacrifice none of the festivities with this beautiful cake.
Another Paleo eating friend, who has lost SO much weight it’s just unbelievable, enjoyed the fruit cake below with coconut butter used as the frosting and slivered almonds as the “sprinkles.”
The possibilities are endless. There are so many fun ideas that can come from one simple watermelon and additional fruit?
Decide on your own variation based on favorite fruits, as well as how much detail you wish to add. Gather your fruits to adorn the sides, and let your creative juices flow.
Yum! This is wonderful! Thanks for posting this!

So cute! I am totally going to try this. Google “Sandwich Cake” some time for pictures of a fancy Swedish party food. Not Paleo, gluten free or low carb, but awfully fun.

Never thought about the coconut butter idea, that is pretty cool. I know coconut goes really well with fruits so I am going to add that to my fruit cakes.
