Tomorrow is my dad’s birthday, but everyone seems to be busy including myself so we decided to acknowledge it today. My dad isn’t a fan of chocolate anything so I was on a mission to make him a cake that was tasty but not boring (also not COMPLETELY labor intensive). So, I made a buttermilk cake with lemon filling and used *regretably* store bought white icing; it also had some shredded coconut here and there. The reviews from my mother, sister and father were great and I thought it tasted delicious as well. But, next time different icing. After the cake was done being made, but prior to being eaten, I finished Elke’s Texas Longhorns tattoo and after it’s healed will post pictures.
