Frozen Cheesecake anyone?

I have no idea what I should call this cake....



It is frozen, it can be served in slices or scooped like ice-cream and it has this gorgeous cheesecakey thing going on.



The two flavours are white chcolate and berry and they are absolutley divine when swirled together.  It can be made with or without agave but I prefer it without.

 

I ♥  this in the summer

 I'm thinking about offering this at our potluck at the end of the month.  Maybe in some take away tubs :)  If this is of interest, let me know.  It's just an idea at the moment ♥

How Do I Order a Raw Faerie Cake?

Ginger Crunch

Recently there have been quite a few requests for clarification about how to order a Raw Faerie Cake so, I thought it would be good to clarify this with a blog post.



What Cakes are available?
Raw Faerie Cakes are divided into two groups ~ cakes that need to be
collected or delivered and cakes that can be sent through the post.


We are always happy to receive special requests.  We receive frequent orders for birthday cakes and the occasional wedding cake too.  If you see something on the facebook page or blog that you don't see on the cake list, email us and ask about it.

6" Love Bomb Cake

From time to time a run of cake squares are offered through our Facebook page.  These small packs cannot be made to order on demand.   If you would like to buy some Raw Faerie cake by the slice then, keep watch on the newsletters for updates on which cafes and healthfood stores are stocking our treats.

Mini Blueberry Torte

If you would like to receive a list of cakes and treats that you can order directly, email rawfaeriecreations@gmail.com  We will also be posting a full list of cakes in the notes section of the Raw Faerie Facebook page shortly.




How Do I get my Cake?
There are a couple of options;

Chocolate Berry Bliss Cake

1. You can collect your cake from the Raw Faerie House in Lostwithiel
2. We can post your cake to you
3. If your cake is for a special occasion, we may be able to deliver it to you at additional cost
4. If Kylie makes Raw Faerie deliveries to a cafe in your local area, she is happy to bring your order to you on her next visit.




How Do I Place an Order?
Orders are placed by email and payment is by direct bank transfer.  We do not offer paypal because they take a percentage of your payment, by not offering Paypal we are avoiding charging you more for our products.  We request one weeks notice for cake orders.  If you find yourself needing a cake at late notice will will do our best to accomodate your order if we're available to do so.

♥ Raw Faerie News ♥

The first Raw Faerie Newsletter is being sent our to our recent customers and enquirers.  If you would like to receive the Raw Faerie News, we'd be happy to send it to you if you opt in.

Newsletters will be sent out every month or so and we will never pass your details on to others.

Newsletter will include information about new Raw Faerie treats, updates on where you can buy Raw Faerie cakes, details for local raw food events and some simple raw recipes.

Raw Faerie Cakes in Archie Browns ~ 4th August!

On Thursday morning, Raw Faerie Cakes will be delivered to Archie Browns in Truro for the first time.  There will be a Raw Chocolate Torte available from the cafe as well as a limited number of  Minty Madness and Love Bomb cake squares too.  Some of the cake squares will be making their way down to Archie's in Penzance and others to the Kneehigh Assylum so please do ask about them if you're out west.  

Helen from Archie Brown's is being really supportive in enabling people across Cornwall to buy Raw Faerie Cake through Archies in Truro and Penzance. This is a bit of an experiment though; we're testing the water to measure demand.   If you would like to see Archie's stocking Raw Faerie cakes on a regular basis, make sure you visit this week to let them know that you're interested <3 

Just to remind you all, Raw Faerie Cakes are raw, vegan and free from wheat and gluten. Ingredients are organic where possible and fresh ingredients are sourced from local organic farms when in season.  Many Raw Faerie Cakes contain superfoods.  They are made with home made raw flours, chocolates and sprouts.  The ingredients in each cake are unique and some nut-free and cacao free cake options are available.

If you would like the Raw Faerie to bring a cake to Truro especially for you, to coincide with deliveries to Archie Browns, send an email rawfaeriecreations@gmail.com .  The Raw Faerie is happy to create a new cake especially for you if you have special dietary requirments.

Raw Food Cakes without nuts ~ do they really taste that good?

 Recently I made a Cake for a lovely lady who had numerous allergies, including all nuts as well as other ingredients too.  She was visiting Cornwall around the time of her birthday.

I'm always up for a challenge so, when she contacted me to ask if I could make something special for her birthday, I was keen to make something really nice for her :)  I remember what it used to be like in my non-raw days when I was vegan, wheat free, sugar free, processed food free etc etc... it was pretty much a nightmare trying to find anything decent to eat unless I made it myself.

My general attitude toward such things is that unless you're allergic to everything, then making something amazing should almost always be possible.

The cake we decided on for her was a slightly modified version of my nut-free cacao torte.  

This is what she had to say about her cake:

Can I just say that the nut free cacao torte was the very best Birthday cake I have ever had.  I ate the last piece a week after it was made and it was definitely the best bit.  It is amazing how the flavour develops.  Thank you. x

I'm so very pleased that she enjoyed it!

 

Organic & Raw Coconut Butter for mothers and babies

 As promised.... here is the article about the benefits that coconut oil can introduce to mother and baby




Virgin Coconut Oil Increases Beneficial Properties in Human Breast Milk
by: Cori Young

VIRGIN OCONUT OIL FOUND BENEFICIAL FOR LACTATING MOTHERS...
The unique composition of human breast milk fat includes the fatty acids, lauric acid and capric acid, which have potent antimicrobial properties. These fatty acids offer the nursing infant protection from viruses such as herpes and HIV, protozoa such as giardia lamblia, and bacteria such as chlamydia and heliocobater.

A study published in 1998 in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition has shown that lactating mothers who eat coconut oil and other coconut products, have significantly increased levels of lauric acid and capric acid in their breast milk. Thus, the milk supply has increased amounts of the protective antimicrobials , which will give even greater protection to the nursing infant.
Pregnant females store fat to assure successful lactation. Any lauric acid and capric acid in the diet becomes part of the adipose stores. The milk fat of a lactating mother is made up of these stores as well as her current diet. If her diet doesn´ t contain lauric acid, then generally her milk fat will contain around 3 lauric acid and round 1 capric acid.

When a lactating woman adds foods rich in lauric acid to her diet, the amount of lauric acid available in her breastmilk increases substantially to levels three times the original level and nearly double the amount of capric acid. In countries where coconut oil is a diet staple, levels of lauric acid in the mother´ s milk can be as high as 21 and capric acid can be as high as 6 giving her infant even more protection against viruses, bacteria, and protozoa.

Coconut oil can be used instead of butter in cooking and baking. You can stir it into oatmeal or even use it as a spread. Also, this oil´ s antimicrobial properties are beneficial for the skin. Pregnant women in many cultures the world over rub cocnut oil on their expanding bellies to keep skin soft and prevent itching.

Virgin coconut oil can also be used to massage baby... 



This article wasn't written from a raw food perspective, but it really does spell out what an amazing food coconut butter is and the great effects it can have when added to the diet during pregnancy and the postpartum.  If looking for ways to incorporate raw coconut butter into meals, it can be blended into smoothies, sauces, soups, or curries.  It's also a great ingredient to include in raw desserts and treats :) 

 I will follow up with a post about the benefits of eating dates during pregnancy and the postpartum really soon 

Raw Foods benefits for mothers and babies

In addition to my Raw Faerie Creations activity I also spend a lot of my time supporting mothers through pregnancy, birth and the postpartum.  I have tended to keep these two areas very seperate but what seems to be happening quite organically over the last months, is a merging of the two.  I'm finding that the many of the soon to be new mothers that I meet and work with are keen to choose the healthiest food options for both themselves and their new baby.  A healthy body that is fuelled by the right foods in the postpartum can help make for an easier recovery.

I'm not talking about supporting pregnant mothers to 'go raw' during pregnancy, I want to make that really clear.  What I'm tallking about is helping them to increase the quantity of nutrient, mineral and enzyme rich foods  in their day to day diets. Pregnancy is not a suitable time to be starting a detoxifying or cleansing diet, but it can be a great time to increase the quality of the foods in the diet.  Ideally, changes to the diet can be made during pre-conception preparation, but if that's not possible then there is no reason why you can't start during pregnancy.  Adding extra foods such as raw greens, hemp, coconut and dates can bring benefits.

Coconut Butter is an amazing healthy fat that brings with it many benefits to new mothers and their babies.  For this reason, it is one ingredient in the New Mama Cakes that I make for mothers in the postpartum.  Coconut Oil and Dates both have positive effects and are great to incorporate into the diet throughout pregnancy and the postpartum (For the New Mamas who need a low GI diet then it would be best to be careful with the dates are known to be a higher GI fruit).


There are many ways to incorporate coconut butter into the daily diet.  It can become part of your desserts, added to cakes or salad dressings and it is also a stable oil for cooking food and baking. 


The New Mama Cakes that I make to order are intended for the mother to enjoy (and share of course!) either at the end of her pregnancy or in the postpartum.  They have a date fudge-like creamy filling on a seed and nut base and they are available with either a carob or white chocolate and vanilla icing.  Containing lots of raw coconut butter and dates, they are great for new mothers.  For those mums who need to avoid dates, there are other options available.  Cakes are Raw, Vegan and free from processed sugar, wheat and gluten.  All ingredients are natural and whole foods.


Read my next post, an article by Cori Young, to find out more about the benefits (to mother and baby) of incorporating coconut butter into your diet

Fermented Superfood Cheesecakes ~ Available for a limited time

Collection Only

Throughout the remainder of the summer I am offering one of my favourite cakes that I have not offered before.  I seldom make this cake because it requires a lot of planning and preparation. 

It is a raw, vegan cacao and superfood cheesecake that is made with fermented nut cheese.  It is amazing because it has that gorgeous sweet and sourness that all cheesecakes should have.  

They will be available until the end of August and a minimum of three weeks notice is required.

This cake is available as a deep 6" or shallow 8" and the cost is £28.00

'Love Bomb' & 'Minty Madness' in the post this week!

Following on from my post last week, the first Raw Faerie Creations cakes are going out in the post in just a couple of days.

Due to demand I am offering both minty madness and the new ♥Love Bomb♥ cake too.

In addition to full size 6" cakes I am also sending out cake squares in packs of 4 and 8.  These are available for both collection and posting.

6" ♥Love Bomb♥

Minty Madness has been enjoyed by both raw foodies, vegans and people who are new to raw cakes.  It was tried by many for the first time at the raw vegan pot luck hosted at the Raw Faerie House this weekend.  It is going to be loved by anyone who is fond of dark chocolate and mint, it is made with fresh greens, nuts, raw chocolate and there are sea greens in there too.  

The ♥Love Bomb♥ cake is a little more gentle and ever so nice.  It is boosted with maca, mesquite and it has fresh organic berries and rose too.  If you have tried the Chocolate Berry Bliss Cake you will find this creation to be a little more subtle.  


At the Pot Luck this weekend, I offered sllices of these two cakes in the Raw Faerie Shop.  They were really well received and have already heard back from some who wished they'd bought more when they had the chance :)

They received many complements including;

 'this isn't just the best vegan cake, it's the best cake I've ever eaten'

'blew me away..... Amazing!!!'

Raw Vegan Wedding Cake

A couple of months ago I started corresponding with a bride-to-be about her upcoming wedding.  A colleague of mine had shown her the Raw Faerie Creations blog and she started to consider the possibility of a raw vegan wedding cake.

Three cakes in different sizes were to be presented on a tiered cake stand.

The cake needed to be vegan, free from specific fruits and transportable as the wedding was in the Cambridge area.  It was quite a challenge and I won't lie, it was a tad stressful!  So much pressure to make some very special cakes for this couple's special day.

The wedding was a few weeks ago now and I have since heard that the cake was enjoyed.  The cake flavour requested was passion, lime, and white chocolate so I whipped up a new recipe, especially for the wedding cake.   I have only a couple of photos of the cakes, I quickly snapped them before packing the cakes away to begin their long journey from Cornwall!

Raw Faerie Cakes are available in the post!

Sorry for my absence of late everyone - I have been extremely busy so haven't had the time to sit and write for a couple of weeks now.


I am blogging today to announce that Raw Faerie Cakes are now available in the post!  

There is a small selection of Raw Faerie chocolate cakes being offered by next day delivery.  Each month there will be a different cake available by post (because there is only one of me and I have many passions).  As demand grows I will revise cakes offered.  
Collection only cakes are available to order as normal.

♥  Minty Madness is packed full of raw organic ingredients including nuts, seeds, sprouts, fresh greens and superfoods ♥

The cake being offered from mid-June is Minty Madness.  This is a new cake and it is loved by chocolate and mint fans.  It is a divine mix of dark raw chocolate and fresh mint ~ the first orders will be send out week beginning 20th June. 

Minty Madness has a crunchy minted base, a firm chocolate cake layer and is then topped with green minty sauce and raw dark chocolates.

Cake orders will be dispatched on the first and third weeks of each month.


Minty Madness is £24 plus £7 postage, 
Cake are 6"and provide approximately 8 slices


To place an order email rawfaeriecreations@gmail.com
Please ensure that you confirm your order at least one week in advance as your cake will be made to order.

♥ ♥ I'll be back soon with more posts about chocolate cheesecakes and another very special cake that I have been working on in the background for some time ♥ ♥ 

Big Raw Faerie LOVE to all

Blueberry Cheesecake!

Sorry I've been a little slow on posting recently, I've just been really busy, not a lot of time to sit and write.  I do have a list of posts I want to put up soon though.

I finished making this gorgeous cake this morning and thought you might like to see it before it disappears  :) 

It's for our big meeting of 'birth support' women from across Cornwall and Devon!  Doulas, Midwives and other birth supporting professionals are coming together at my home tomorrow for a professional development day.  It just wouldn't be right if we didnt finish our meeting with some raw cake. 

This is an organic, vegan, wheat/gluten/sugar free, raw blueberry cheesecake.
