Lavender and coconut layer cake with lavender italian meringue frosting (aka my favorite birthday cake!)
Cakes
I am slightly obsessed with lavender. I love to wear it as a perfume, I love to keep pots of it at home, and I love to eat it! I even have a secret desire to name my future daughter Lavender (I just have to get my husband on board...). So for my last birthday, I decided to treat myself to a lavender birthday cake. I was inspired by Ina Garten's Coconut Layer Cake, though I've made a fair number of tweaks. I was also inspired by Someonewhobakes' recipe for Vanilla/Infused Italian Meringue (http://someonewhobakes.com/2011/03/03/hell-hath-frozen-over/), though I again make some tweaks. The end result is a delicious, big, lavender-heaven cake.
