Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Cake should be refrigerated. Better if made the day before serving or several hours b/4 serving. The white satin icing is my mother's recipe and you can put the lemon juice OR the white corn syrup as that ingredient.No. The coconut mixture only goes between the layers. "Dry" packaged coconut is sprinkled on top and sides of cake. This is the can or packaged coconut that you buy off the shelf at the grocery (not frozen).
I have all this in my head and don't think about everybody not knowing just what to do.
