I am not rating this, because I haven't tasted it yet. I am making it a day in advance for a Sport's Banquet. I just have something important to add! MAKE SURE YOU LET THE COCONUT FILLING COOL COMPLETELY BEFORE PUTTING IN ON THE CAKE!!!!!! Unfortunately right after I mixed it, I put it on the bottom layer, topped it with the other layer and proceeded to frost it with the chocolate frosting. The coconut layer is at least an inch thick! As soon as I started to frost the sides, the chocolate frosting would not stick to the coconut filling, it all mixed together and the coconut was oozing all over the place! To save it, I put it right in the fridge. After about an hour, I took it out and kind of slopped the sides back together. Some of the frosting was mixed with coconut and had a bumpy consistency. I put it back in the fridge and then when it was set, I frosted over the bumby parts with the remaining frosting. I will check back with a rating after I actually get to taste it. I did taste some of the filling mixed with frosted that plopped onto the plate and that was yummy :) UPDATE: This is an update on an earlier comment I made about PREPARING this cake...remember to let the coconut filling cool or you will have a mess! Now for the TASTE part....AWESOME!!! I made it for a banquet and it got eaten up right away...of course I made sure I got the first piece so I could review it :) My husband and I shared it and he said if he would give it a 5 1/2!! Thanks for posting! -

Zaar...Wow, what a place! I'm one of the old timers of Zaar. I can't count the number of wonderful dishes I cooked in the past few years since joining. Along the way I have had the pleasure of meeting several Zaar chefs. Talk about your fruits and nuts! lol. I have enjoyed meeting them all.
Family: What's to say...I have had the same sweet husband forever (Good thing....I'd hate to have to break a new one in...=) and live close to a couple of grown children. (Maybe you've met Smoke Alarm Jr. ..her brown rolls are sooo good!) Therefore, my family gets together often to enjoy each other's company and cooking. My greatest joy is six "little to tallerthanme" kids running around calling me Grammy. They wear me out! lol
For the past thirty years I have been a Special Education teacher for grades 9-12 and love it. Took some time off last year to recovery from surgery, chemotherapy and radiation for breast cancer. (Loved the radiation....I keep imagining that we are absolutely napalming the nasty cancer cells tohellandback to keep the little suckers from returning. =) My prognosis is good and now "I'm back in the saddle again". lol. Being a north country "gurl", I am happiest outside...walking, fishing, sitting in front of an outdoor fire or being on water (although in February it's a bit stiff....=0) When indoors I like to read, garden, knit, quilt and paint. During cold Maine weather I like to warm my feet on a very large ( 100 pounds of long legs and huge feet), sweet and furry golden retriever named Kerry (aka KTBRD: Kerry the big red dawg..lol) . In the summer, the dawg and I round up the grandkids, hit the local dairy bar for a Mounds Sundae that is to die for!!!=0) . Then spend a lot of long and lazy summer days at camp . All in all...Boy, Life is good! =)
