Happybirtdaycontest - A very late submission - Vegan vanilla/mango/lemon cheesecake

Hey guys,

As you all know my dearest friend and soulsister @vegan.niinja had her birthday a week ago. I've been planning and thinking about what I should do but time just flied by and all of a sudden the deadline was here. So after a super busy day I'm finally done with my contribution.

I've have had the luck to know Niina for almost a year and we actually met the first time on Christmas day last year (yeah the christmas day that was). And we just fell instantly in friend love. Well I'm speaking to myself but I think I speak for her too 😄.
Niina is a beautiful friend who's always supportive and she's also my biggest inspiration. We first met online on instagram a year ago and I have followed her development closely. She is now rocking both on steemit and instagram and gaining new followers faster than the speed of light.

I know that Niina loves cheese cakes (well she loves all sweet things) so without being any more centimental here is my contribution to your #happybirtdaycontest.
