Happy Birthday, Sweetie
Sep. 18th, 2010 01:22 pmGeo's b-day was Wednesday. Since it was mid-week, our personal celebration was very low-key.
Then last night, Geo's work screened Streets of Fire*, one of Geo's favorite '80s films. He introduced the movie, and for the pre-show, he put together 45 minutes of '80s music videos. What fun!
Coconut cake is one of Geo's favorites, so today I made--totally from scratch--homemade coconut cake. Even the shredded coconut is from scratch, which was an interesting experience.
I've never done anything quite like this, and I think it turned out pretty good.



It's a three-layer cake, the cake is a butter cake batter, the frosting is a marshmallow creme, and the coconut is fresh shredded.
I'll get back to you on the the flavor. I think it's going to be fantastic!
*More on that later.
