Ultimate Coconut Cake

Here's the cake Pipster wanted (and had) for his birthday on Sunday.   Making it was a big project with lots of steps.

As usual, I made my own mistakes and modifications.   It still turned out super-yummy!  Although not exactly picture-perfect!

Here he's resting because it's so filling!  LOL

I guess since I put so much effort into the cake, that my brain was fried and I only put 10 candles on it instead of the requisite 11.  He realized the mistake a little later, rectified it and blew them out all over again.

I love those self-reliant kids!
