Cake Recipes

 

Monday, August 21st is my birthday and I was asked about my favorite cake. That is a difficult question since I like many of them. I recall the fresh coconuts that my mother used for cakes when I was a kid. My job was to sit on the back steps to break the coconuts and to cut out the coconut for her to use. And, my thoughts turn to those wonderful carrot cakes and German chocolate cakes. Selecting favorites will require further study.

Roy Kelley - Today is just a prelude to the celebration of your birth. August 21st is a special day because you were born. I could visualize you sitting on the porch, about knee high, taking apart that coconut. You're mouth must have been watering in anticipation of your mother's fresh Coconut Cake. What a beautiful memory! 

Let the celebrations begin!!! May you walk in pride every single day of your life completing all the wonderful things you wish to do.

Hi Roy and early Happy Birthday! I love cake, and in fact love to hear the words chocolate cake. I do make a carrot cake for Larry that he loves. And searched until I found a recipe similar to my mother's chocolate frosting. And now, I'm craving chocolate cake.
