beautiful! Recipe please?

for the cake i used i am cherished cashew lemon cheesecake with the following changes
1. Read commit that it was not sweet enough so i only used ½ cup lemon juice
2. Substituted the almond milk for 2 pears
3. Used my own crust then put bananas on top of the crust
4. Cut off the tip of the strawberries for the decorating
5. Divided the recipe in half then used sliced strawberries in between layer and on the sides of the cake. The rest of the strawberries i ate and they were so good
6. For the top is used ½ avocado with honey and agave to taste
7. I used a knife and the tip of a vegetable peeler to crave out the design
here's a picture of the inside of the cake

Your design is really beautiful! :cool:

I'm really impressed by what you did and am very interested how you did it. It sounds like you did it freehand.

Thank you for all your complements. I will be more detailed orientated for the constructed of the christmas cake. Here’s my story
i have a 9” spring form with two removable pans with xmas scenes, thinking i can just press into the cake and it would leave marks------no luck it wasn’t sharp enough to dig into the cake. Coming, from an art background, i decided to freehand a design.

1. Make the frosting in a food processor, transfer to a medium bowl, then to the refrigerator to firm up
2. Draw your design visualizing a circle that you need to stay in
3. Use the tip of a knife to draw with ,rising excess cake, in a cup of water
4. Use a vegetable peeler to get around holly, and in between the indent and groves of the holly, rising excess in water.
5. Your design should be slightly raised around the cake
6. To get the sharp points of the holly leaves, put a small amount of the frosting in the freezer, you want the frosting stiff but not frozen
after knowing the steps, you have to work organized

to be organized for make the cake here are the steps.
1. Right before finishing drawing your design, put some frosting in a small bowl, then transfer to a freezer for about 5-10 minutes
2. Finish your design and put another bowl of frosting in the freezer to replace the frosting that you will be using
3. Do about two or four holly leaves at a time until done
