happy birthday to a special cousin

happy birthday to our unique cousin beth!   can you tell i let "the monster" decide on the cake style?!

what you need:

 - 2 8 or 9-inch cakes

 - chocolate icing

 - coconut

 - green food coloring

 - little white candies

 - cars

after leveling the cakes, frost both with the icing.  place in  a "figure 8" on cake board(s) if you have them.  place the coconut in a sandwich bag, along with a small drop of green food coloring and shake up until all coconut is green.  spread the coconut along the outside border of the cakes.  take a fork and draw "tracks".  put a little more "grass coconut" in the middle and use the white candy to establish lanes.  lastly, add the cars!
