Fresh green coconuts - everyday!

Always finding more ways to use our fresh organic coconuts...so when I was asked by another raw food chef, Frederic Patenade to create a wedding cake for his wedding here at the Waterfall Villas, I created this watermelon cake (yes it is watermelon and apple slices inside, with layers of coconut sprout) frosted with my ever so popular coconut cream and decorated it with fresh edible flowers.
