Just as some of us think salad is utterly scrumptious, some girls just hate salad. They can't stand it! Is that you? It's cool, if so – everybody's different! What do you dislike about it, though? I only ask because sometimes, a dish presented in a different way with lots of yummy ingredients can make you reconsider! Salad cakes might make a salad lover out of you. They're just what they sound like – salads made to look like cakes. I mean, like sugary, sweet, delicious, beautifully decorated cakes. How could you not want a slice?

Have you ever tried a salad cake? Ever made one? You better share! If you've never made one, maybe it's time to try – you can use any ingredients you want, you can make any kind of cake, have as many layers as you like, include fruits, cheeses, grains, nuts, bread, and dressings – the possibilities are endless! I kind of hope this trend lasts a while!
