Creamy Coconut Layer Cake
"Once upon a time, in a land far, far away, lived a Queen. Every day she asked her magnifying mirror who was the fairest of them all? Despite her frown lines and crow’s feet, the answer was always “You, my Queen, are fairest of them all.” But, through the woods, a little distance away, lived an innocent maiden with 7 dwarfs and they all loved to bake. When the Queen next consulted her mirror she was taken aback – “You are no longer the fairest of them all...there is a snow white cake with thick swaths of ivory icing and sweet curls of coconut.” At that, the Queen hurled her mirror in the trashcan and Heigh- Ho’ed it outta there to score a slice. THE END...."
