How much does it cost to buy all those things for doing this cake
Not sure, but it is a pretty expensive cake. It is meant for special occasions.
Hi Aarthi,
Is this fresh coconut or desiccated coconut??
it is desicated
My cake turned out really well
Only problem was the frosting which did not turn out right, it became like over bitten cream even though I followed each step as advised
