One of our big treats growing up was my Mother’s Pineapple Upside-Down Cakes.  I loved to get to the bottom where all the melted butter and brown sugar was hiding.  Instead of a cake, try the muffins.  It is sure to be a family favorite!

One of my favorite childhood memories is my Nanny’s Coconut Cake.  It was on our table for every special occasion.  Apparently, it was made very simply with a boxed white cake mix.  But the frosting is what makes this recipe special.  Nanny would add just enough red food coloring to the frosting so that it came out a pretty light pink.  She would then cover the entire cake in shredded angel coconut.
