Coconut Cake Is Not For Dogness

I made a coconut cake for yesterday's dinner. It was partly Easter dinner dessert, partly TFL's birthday cake. Having your birthday on the day of my tax final and the day before my Con Law final is not the way to get a big celebration.

The cake itself was basically a pound cake--dense and rich--with a cream cheese and coconut frosting. Not bad, all things considered. Dogness thought she should have some. Dogness has a thing for cake, and kept staring intently at us while we ate it and made it clear she was pretty miffed that we weren't sharing. She even tried to investigate it when we set it on the counter. Sadly for her, we were watching. Now it's tucked back in the fridge and as long as it's there it's safe.

But woe unto us if we leave it out, because she will eat it. And there is no justice, because she won't get sick from it.

Hope you all had a lovely Easter.

We had a dessert-fest ourselves at our friend's annual fete. JM makes this frozen Alfredo thing with almonds and we had a new addition - tres leches cupcakes (an award-winning recipe on the food-channel). I swore to limit myself to just a couple thin slices of things, but it was not a successful oath.
We also had Michael's 1st Communion. Afterward, he declared we should call him "Michael the Great, Who Has Had His First Communion." He's a lot of fun.

I'm sorry we didn't know about The Great's First Communion. Many hugs and congratulations to him.
