For this past Saturday I made a cake. It was a white cake with three layers, a lemon curd filling, buttercream frosting and coated in coconut. To quote "this cake is fabulous!". I am so happy it was loved and it was so easy to make! I made the cake Friday morning and while it was cooling I made the curd and buttercream frosting. The lemon curd had to cool too so I had to wait a while. It was a good little break, watched some t.v. and did the dishes. Then, I cut the cake into three layers and filled it so the cake would set. I had to make a dam in order to hold the loose filling in. After the cake was set up, I frosted it, put the coconut on the outside and made the bottom shell border. If you have any questions or want any of the recipes, I will be happy to share.
Just a tip: I made the cake board with a piece of cardboard, covered in wrapping paper and cellophane. I covered the wrapping paper with cellophane so the paper doesn't absorb moisture or anything else from the grease. That way, you can set your own theme with the wrapping paper and have an inexpensive cake board!
