Have a stupid amount to catch up on, #3 has had me in the kitchen every day this week. My gmas bday was yesterday but my mom was out of town so we did cake tonight instead. Which was #3s idea which meant we were making another cake lmao.
Coconut cake with cream cheese frosting, toasted coconut, and a buttercream "flower garden" in a "grandma's couch from the 70s" color scheme lol. Which meant we learned how to make buttercream flowers last night
Two perfectly baked 8" coconut cake layers

Side view, my grandma keeps her house uncomfortably warm so the flowers were trying to slide off the sides
