Cool and Creamy Coconut Cake

My goodness time flies. Monday will be Valentine's Day. It just seems as though we started a new year and here it is beginning the second week of February. Had a great crew today at the Cuttlebug meeting. There were a couple of brave croppers in the mix. I was surfing up some Card Blitz ideas. Prissy was surfing for treats as usual. All in all a great day.

Today I am going to post another great Coconut Cake recipe.
