wolffeDecorated now, although we didn't put any of the plain balls on. I'm trying to decide if I want to. They're the ones that attract the cats the most, which means they'll most likely also attract Jake. He's been good about staying away from it, but the super shinies might be too much. More on flickr.
I'm trying to recreate my Grandma's coconut cake recipe, and I made a trial run tonight. I learned a few things. I didn't do the 7 minute frosting right, so it's a bit grainy. I doubt it would have thickened up to be really good for cupcakes even if I had beat the hell out of it, but I'll definitely make it a bit thicker. Tastes great though! Next time I'll get the process right and it'll be as close to Grandma's as I can get I think.
