Strawberry Coconut Balls

These are super easy and fun....... not to mention DELICIOUS!!!



Ingredients:

1 large package shredded coconut
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 Large package strawberry Jell-O
1/2 teaspoon almond extract

Put all ingredients into a large bowl. Mix together. Form into balls.  If you like a neater look, you could also roll them in more Jell-O; buy an additional small box of the same flavor.  You can use any flavor of Jell-O that you like.  They really are quite striking in appearance and color.  They are best if eaten right away.

See I told you it was simple!=)

Cute Lifesaver Cake!

This cake is really cute! It would also be good for Easter! You could use a cake mix and dye it different colors with food coloring, or do what I did, and make a white cake recipe.  So make your favorite cake and use my aunt's amazing buttercream frosting (at the bottom), and stick some Lifesavers on it!=)



Some interesting pictures I took while making my cake!





More pictures of my cake!














AHHHHHHH!


Aunt Jackie's Butter Cream Frosting:

Blend together 3/4 cup room temperature butter, 4 cups powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon clear vanilla extract, and 3-4 tablespoons water. You may need to add extra water, depending on how thick you want it. You can also add food coloring to make your cake extra colorful!
