Happy Easter Cake

I hope everyone had a happy Easter. What a great holiday we had - the weather was beautiful and the company, as always, was fun and filled with laughs.  All the food was delicious. I think it might have been the best Easter food in a long, long time. 
I made this cake inspired by cakes I had seen online.  I decorated it in the style of a basket (sans the handle) using a basket-weave piping tool and added grass (colored coconut) and eggs (Robin's Egg candies) and Peeps to the top.
The cake was coconut lemon: white cake, lemon icing and lemon coconut filling. It was a combination of 3 different recipes, the icing being all mine. 


As far as the blog goes, I know I have been slacking. It has been a very busy time for me but I would like to get back into it. Because of work constraints, it is hard for me to keep up as much as I used to, but I am still cooking and baking, especially on the weekends!  I hope this spring/summer to have more regular entries and I thank you for continuing to follow.
