Easter Treats!

I Love Cakes!!! I am trying to get as many tins as I can, but I'm cheap so I'm watching for sales and great deals. I found this bunny tin at TJ Max for just $3.99, I was pretty excited about that! It's been in the cupboard for over a month and a couple of days before Easter I remembered that I had it, and I'm so glad I did. I think it turned out super cute!!!Here's the thing, I'm not a big fan of a cake from a box, but settle for them just to save time. I Usually spend all this time on my cake and I get tons of compliments, but when it comes to eating it.... well, there is nothing special about the taste, so a couple of pieces get eaten and then after it hardens and we looked at it long enough we throw it away.

For Easter I wanted a cake that would look really cute and we could eat it and enjoy it just as much. So I made a carrot cake, one of my mother-in-laws yummy recipes, with cream cheese frosting. Then when I added the coconut, oh my, it added a hole new taste to a great recipe! So I'd love to post the recipe but this is my first post to my new cooking blog! If I do get any followers any time soon that would like the recipe to my yummy Carrot Cake, let me know! I'd be happy to post it!!!
