raw pumpkin pie
Laura’s cakes have been used to celebrate so many birthdays, anniversaries, and just-because-moments in our homes. she is the queen of raw desserts, and since she isn’t making these cakes for the community anymore, instead focusing on feeding North America with her perfect bite sized energy balls + treats, we are going to cherish this perfect fall recipe, from her archives, for a long time to come.
