  • “Fantastic!The name says it all.Not being a coconut fan, I left it out and it lost nothing in the translation.Thank you Amber for sharing your orgasm with me! :)”

  • “This stuff is soooo good! I’ve actually been making it for a few years so I’m sorry I forgot to rate it. Everyone who tries it absolutely loves it and can’t get enough. The cherry flavor really does burst in your mouth and the texture differences are fantastic! It looks more time intensive than it is and it’s totally worth the little bit of effort it takes. I just work on each “layer” during the bake times. It’s also a beautiful dessert! I renamed it Cherry Delight since it was being requested so often. Thanks for an awesome dessert!”
