Coconut Cake

Have you noticed that people just don’t seem to make coconut cake as much as they used to?

I wonder why. It seemed like when I was growing up every woman in my neighborhood made this kinf of cake. It was just kind of a tradition, you know?

My mother’s best friend made a fantastic coconut round cake. It was so light and summery; and it was the perfect dessert for a backyard cookout. I can almost smell the burgers grilling and taste that light and fluffy cake.

Not that you have to limit coconut cake to summer barbeques. Wouldn’t it make a unique summer wedding cake? Especially if you were having a beach themed wedding.

Most wedding cake ideas are so bland and all the pictures of cakes in bridal magazines start to look alike after awhile.

A coconut wedding cake, though; that would be a perfect and unique round wedding cake idea. Of course, it would be kind of an interesting idea to serve it for a winter wedding cake too.

Coconut is already white so it would look enough like a traditional wedding cake but would give your guests a nice little tropical surprise when they took the first bite of your coconut cake.

If you’re into funny birthday cakes, though; you can’t beat a coconut cake. There’s so much you can do with coconut when you use it for birthday cake decorating ideas.

It’s so easy to dye with food coloring, which makes it great to use for Easter cake decorations too. When coconut is dyed green it looks just like green grass. Sprinkle on a few jelly beans and you’ve got a sweet egg hunt.
