I’ve been feeling a lot under the weather during the last week, a cold knocked me down for a few days and I really need something to cheer me up. So a crêpe cake with coconut filling, sprinkled with icing sugar and coconut shaves I figured would do the trick this time. It might look a little difficult to make/assemble, but once you have made all the crêpes it looks like a piece of cake. And you can change the filling to one of your choice like nutella, lemon cream or whatever will make you feel like you are in dessert heaven.
Enjoy!
