In the kitchen of where I work has a poster near the doorway. It states what the team values.
“someone who can bake”
I love it when the team has got its priorities right. 
When it became my turn to provide morning tea though, my mind races. What can I bring that could potentially be a crowd pleaser, something perhaps a little different but also refined sugar free? 
I was anxious. This is a team that is used to having gorgeous home made cakes made with traditional flour and sugar. Each time, I felt tongue tied when I explain why I’m not a fan of gluten, sugar or anything refined. I was conscious it could make me stick out like a sore thumb but still wanting to stand my ground of our food philosophy.
This slice was inspired by the Merrymaker sisters’ snickers cake. My biggest take away from their recipe was the gorgeous nut praline. Starting from there, I created my layers and made it to suit my taste.
It was gone by the end of the day and that was all the confirmation I needed.
If you are looking for a cool christmas treat to bring or make, this would be a lovely one to try!
