This is a special recipe out of my father-in-laws recipe box. He passed away in 2005 of Parkinsons and was and is dearly loved. Everytime we would go visit he would always have a wonderful meal waiting for us. I hope you enjoy this as much as we did when he would make it for all of us.

Here is your how to if you are not sure or have never baked and frosted a 3 layer cake............. Carefully lift one cake layer, using both hands onto the cake plate with the bottom side up. Hold the cake gingerly so you do not press into the cake, which could cause it to fall apart. Spread 1/4 of the frosting over the top of the cake evenly. Place the second layer also bottom side up on top of the first layer with the frosting, also bottom side up. Slide the layer around so that it sits evenly on top of the first one. Frost the top of the second layer using another 1/4 of the frosting. Repeat with the third and final layer. Frost the sides of the three-layer cake and the top generously with the remaining frosting. Gently slide the wax paper from underneath the cake and re-frost where your fingers may have messed up the icing. Sprinkle Coconut on top while slightly patting top and then you will pat it carefully on the sides if you need more than the measured amount feel free to add more......Serve or store in a cool area.
