It is tropical, bright and fresh! It is your favorite drink re-imagined into a luscious cake with amazing flavors from extracts!
The pineapple and orange garnish are so very pretty for presentation but can be taken off when served. One piece of pineapple has a tiny bit of carbs, so I didn’t worry about that!
My favorite protein powder by Iconic really makes the icing so smooth and helps reduce the need for a bunch of powdered erythritol!
