1) it is beautiful!

2) Is there anything better in this universe????!!!!!

3) Hi Sludge!

4) My mouth is watering just looking at it-look ou you pregger girls out there is this doesn't start a craving nothing will!

5) Yummmmmmm!

6) omg-YUM!

7) There are quite a few coconut-haters at my office but German Chocolate Cake seems to override most coconut fussiness. Coconut, chocolate, and caramelized sugar--what could be better? Well, I will admit the chocolate cake with broiled coconut icing that my mom used to make for us beats even GC cake for me. I like the filling/frosting toasted so it is crunchy as well as yummy.

8) This looks really good, and I might have to get the recipe from you. Do you have any ideas for a special Mother's Day item I could bake this weekend for my mom?

9) I have 10,000+ ideas. :) Give me some idea of the flavors and what you want to make and I'll make sure you get a recipe. I didn't hear back on this one but that's nothing usual with my folks. They tend to take me for granted (no, not a pun...at least not intended!). :) I'll finally hear about it next week, like "did I tell you how much we enjoyed the cake last week?". LOL I've learned not to let it bother me like it used to. I was always "geez, must not have been good!" when people wouldn't tell me they liked it (or not) :)
