Fruits & Veggies Monday/ pot cake 🍌 🍍 🥭

Hello dear fruits and veggie friends, I hope you are all well!

The last weeks have been very warm 15-20 °, too warm for this time of year, lots of apricot trees are already blooming and yesterday there was a drop in temperature of -3 ° and it should get even colder, I hope the flowers will survive, because they are straight now very important for the insects.

So I thought I would bring spring into the house with something sweet.

Says it with flowers: this funny treat doesn't grow in a flowerpot, but it is baked in it 🌺 🌻 🌼

would like to have a big thank you to @lenasveganliving, @plantstoplanks, @vegansofsteemit and @naturalmedicine, without them we would not be able to enjoy it!
