Saw the picture above on Pinterest – and just had to make it (and of course, make it into a healthier version)!
Last weekend when I had a few girls over, I made it with a healthy pancake recipe and home-made cashew cream. (It sort of fell apart while putting it together (sort of fail), but it tasted GREAT!)
How cute is this pict of me? My friend, Hallie from Corals and Cognacs wrote such a great recap about the brunch. I served it on my grandmothers silver platter.
P.S Feel free to serve the pancakes and cashew cream separately for breakfast/brunch.
