Serena, here is the link to the “Cherry Coconut Cream Cake” I made using a lot of the ideas in your recipe…but it’s somewhat different. I wanted to make a layer cake and was not sure the cake you posted would hold up as a layer cake. I did use a box cake mix (they are great these days) and added a few things to the cake mix. The icing is a recipe I’ve had for a long time. This icing is very creamy and really good, and not as sweet as some icings can be. You will see 3 cakes and 6 cupcakes, that’s because I doubled my recipes because I was giving 2 of them away to neighbors. I did cut one cake last night and it was pretty yummy. Anyway, here is the link, I just got it typed up and posted on my blog. http://rosettassweettreats.wordpress.com/2013/01/20/cherry-coconut-cream-cake/
