SWEETENED COCONUT FLAKES



Sweetened Coconut Flakes image

My daughter was preparing to made Paula Deen's Jamie's Coconut Cake for my Father's 74th birthday -- coconut cake is his favorite! We only had unsweetened coconut. (We try to use only organic ingredients, and couldn't find any organic sweetened coconut). We tried this, and it turned out wonderfully.
