Baking is Fantastic

We recently threw a surprise 10th anniversary party for some close friends and of course I was so excited about the whole thing....first planning parties or anything for that matter is so fun. It involves notes, lists, and lots of post-it's then it's right up my alley. As much as I love to buy already made things because let's face it, it saves like a hundred steps....I love to bake. So here was my big chance to try once again my hand at baking.... Our friends happened to be big coconut fans and so I really wanted to try to make this martha stewart recipe of a delicious not to difficult coconut cake with white frosting...

dot dot dot ...it was delicious.

Okay fine I'll tell you all what happened. The cake was beautiful the frosting was a complete disaster...a least it was a night time party so maybe we could hide the cake in the background was all i was thinking. Martha Stewart says this is so simple, easy frosting but it was NOT...it was watery, tasty, but clearly not eatable. So I kept adding things to thicken it up and so it turned to a very interesting color from the vanilla...anyways I guess the point is I have two things to say

FIRST: Martha Stewart Lies

and
SECOND: The cake was still delicious and baking is of course fabulous.
