• 7. When cakes are baked; cool in pans for 2 minutes. Remove from pans and completely cool on wire rack.

• 9. Place first cooled cake, bottom side up. Frost the top, add the second layer frost the top and sides. I sprinkled some toasted coconut on the top. Completely optional. Should refrigerate 1 hour prior to serving. My kids wouldn't wait till the cake had a chance to set up...so as to why filling looks a little soft..lol
