Colored Coconut to make Pretty Spring Treats
It has officially been spring for a while now, but apparently mother nature is not feeling it.
I don’t know about you but I need some color in my life. Something bright and cheery, something a little a lot springy.
Colored coconut is pretty and cheery, and very easy to do. It is perfect for spring time bird’s nest themed treats, and a pretty garnish on cakes and cupcakes. And yes colored coconut, is very springy!
