YUMMY!

This was a dreamy cake to put together for a friend. Golden coconut cake with 1.5 cups of coconut milk, homemade coconut pastry cream, raspberry puree with a touch of lime. The coconut was light, so I topped it with vanilla meringue butter cream with toasted coconut and fresh berries. I think I'll switch this up a bit more and do a key lime curd- like raspberry lime rickeys. OR more coconut rum- I don't think I'll go for the pineapple-not particularly fond of pina colada.

More baking thoughts- making this into cupcakes, yet raspberries are really expensive to decorate with and puree. Re-doing lemon squares into pomegranate squares?
and more sculpting...
