Birthday cake

A few years ago my friend Mary Beth made this divine cake. It has lemon curd in between each layer, cream of coconut in the actual cake, and boiled frosting (which is really interesting and yummy!)

I decided I wanted this cake for my birthday this year. The only problem is that it takes so long to make that I didn't want anyone to have to make it for me. So I asked my friend Jenny to help me. I made the lemon curd, she made the cake, I made the frosting, and she frosted and decorated it. It was so delicious! It's so rich and dense though, not like cake mixes. A little sliver of it goes a long way. We didn't finish the cake off for at least a week - and I even fed it to people at my miniature party! We also had cheesecake at the party though, or people might have eaten a bit more of it.

Here's Jenny decorating the cake and also talking on the phone, hah! By the way, the cake was 4 layers.

And here's what it looked like in the end!
