And so we were back after a more than successful raw food event for New Years, Elin and I were hired to cater for Twice in Natures second event...
Which had our favourite band 'Alcamix' headlining.
The beautiful seating area where The venue holds 400-600 people
And so to the raw food prep...
Rather than waiting for the staff to get our ingredients (which we spent half the day waiting for when we did their New years) we zoomed off, 3 of us on the moped to the whole salers...
Almost getting lost in their stock pile...
And got cracking on making the desserts... Which we had many many many to make.
We made carrot cake...
With a sweet lemony cashew cream cheese frosting.
I was really keen to make this event totally vegan but was used to using honey... So Elin and I were trying to find a substitute for it and came up with a delicious alternative mixture using dates, golden sugar, coconut oil and raisins - which made for a full, rich and fudgy flavour in the 'Chocolate Heaven' cake.
We made Rocky Road bites...
Took a little break and did some yoga... (Me not so seriously)
Elin is one amazing yoga teacher and I have LOVED being her guiniepig for classes... There has been many an occasion where I have been catapulted into other dimesnsions after a yoga lesson from this yogi bear.
The cosmic earth Angels offer much more than just raw food ;)
Then the sunset came and the Mosquitos came out and we got back to the kitchen and made 2 trays of chocolate banana and walnut cake...
A Chocolate and Salted Caramel, peanut slice
A bit of joyful dancing
We completely filled up the fridge and freezer with all our creations
We made so many cakes that we decided to start pre selling them the evening before at a smaller event...
Many customers asked us if we were doing raw food workshops, where else we would be doing events and if we sold our cakes anywhere in the shops In arambol... So we were very pleased everyone was happy and coming back for seconds and some even thirds.
Blowing bubbles at our stall
The real event the next evening... A little more setup and shanti.
Our beautiful menu with the even more beautiful Elinji
Nearly clean out of cakes after just under 2 hours.
With the Maharaj owner of Twice in Nature - the lovely Hassan
The first honest beautiful loving job I have ever done in my life.
Money is just an energy and it flows where there is love, where the heart sings and the ego sleeps.
Happppppy days.
Here's a delicious recipe for a raw vegan choccy cheesecake... Just divide the mixture by 1/2 because this amount of ingredients listed will serve 24 people!
