I thought I would compare Alton Brown's version of coconut cake to Paula's. Turns out I like them both a lot. But this one was definitely harder (took freshly shredded coconut, homemade coconut milk, etc.).
I'm a big fan of this block set. Sam and his friends who came over to watch conference made some pretty great towers. Later we made this city/train on stilts. It was freaking awesome, if I do say so myself.
And finally, we got a piano! And boy were the missionaries surprised when they came for dinner and we told them before there woudl be any food, they had to carry the piano in our house. hee hee.

THIS is what I need to know: Is the gelatinous mutant coconut truly a "Tasty Joy?"
You really should have a cake blog. Or at least a coconut blog.
Yum! The cake looks amazing. The part I like about Alton Brown is that he does show you how to do everything from scratch. Time consuming but informative. Which did you like more, Paula's or Alton's?
Super joy, yes. Tasty joy, debatable. Sometimes there's more joy in ridicule than in taste. A lesson of the ages.
Truth is Jennvan, I'm still acquiring my skilz in the kitchen. I'm not so great with the direction not to "overmix" things, and I think I did BOTH recipes a disservice by whipping them up with the Kitchenaide on high. So, I'd hate to pass judgement based on my own mistakes, but I think I did like Alton Brown's better (although it was more dense, perhaps due to glutination (see how savvy I am! (if not capable))).
I'm still gagging on the name!!!
If there is more joy in ridicule, then I am full of love sweet love!
Nice blog, radiation boy!
So . . . is it like coconut jello? What is mutant coconut, anyway?
