Well today was another Golder Birthday (Happy Birthday Heather) and you know what that means….. A new cake. Last night I tried my hand at a Coconut Layer Cake. The recipe I used was from the internet and can be found here (Thanks Martha 
).
It was a pretty simple cake to make and the actual cake part of it seems like it could be used in many different types of cakes. It almost reminded me of wedding cake, it was that good quality white cake. After making the two layers for the cake, I threw them into the freezer to cool them faster (due to the amount of time I had). After they were cooled, I made the 7 minute frosting (which took more than 7 minutes by the way), again I was impressed with how this turned out, it was great frosting. Assembly was probably the messiest part of the process, there has got to be an easier way to ice the sides of a cake, I will have to Google it and find out. Anyhow, the cake seemed to be a hit at work so #2 of 5 done.
I am thinking the next cake I do for a Golder Birthday is going to be a different cheesecake but after that I think I might try my hand at making a fancy cake. I am thinking I could build a decent cake with the white cake base that I used for this and then potentially come up with the rest on my own. We shall see.
The building process and results:
That cake was AWESOME!!!
Tyler,
I had a different but excellent cake the other day. They called it a “deep fried cheesecake”and the way they made it was to make the cheesecake portion, wrap it in phylo pastery and then deep fry it. They topped it with a chocolate coulis- i think that is the fancy name for a syrup /fancy liquid added in a fancy design , as well as some whipped cream etc. It was really good and a somewhat different cheesecake.
