Birthday Wrap-up

Saturday, March 31st, 2007

Here is a birthday card I whipped up for Steph. Mia liked it because it was “all silk.”

Stephanie loves coconut and chocolate. I found this recipe for a very decadent Deep Dark Chocolate Coconut Cake. First, you make a roll of coconut mixed with sweetened condensed milk and an egg white and put it in the fridge to chill.

The batter has two types of chocolate.

After the batter is in the bundt pan, the coconut roll is made in to a circle and placed in the batter and buried.

After it bakes and is cooled, a chocolate glaze is poured over.

This is what it looks like when you cut it — a tunnel of coconut – yum!

And this is what my grandchildren looked like at the end of spring break. I think their Mom is ready to have them back in school!

This afternoon, I was not feeling well, so I sprawled on the sofa and watched Marie Antoinette – what a visual feast! I also took a couple of Aleve and I feel better. I think I have one of those achy viruses. Hope you are having a great week-end.
