Coconut Vanilla Cake

This is a vanilla cake with buttercream frosting.  It is topped with coconut.  I made this for my mom's birthday.  It was yummy.  I used a Demarle flower baking mold to back the cake and it came out so easy without having to flour the pan.

For the candles, I bought the Wilton's birthday candle with the matching flame color.  When lit, the flame of the candles were the color of the candle.  This added a nice touch to the white cake.  Of course, the best part was eating this cake!
