Planted between Chanukah and Purim, Tu B’Shevat’s activities and crafts have blossomed of late. With the availability of a vast variety of beautiful fruits and nuts, designed by the Greatest Artist of all, there are so many opportunities to create something a little extra in honor of this unique and special day.

Geometric Brownie Cake

The variety of nut choices available keeps growing, with choices of sliced, slivered, ground, chopped, sweet, and savory in almost every nut category. Although the cake featured here is only about 12 inches, I could have easily continued this design for a few feet, switching off nuts for each ring. I hope you enjoy creating your own beautiful nutty designs!
