“The greatest marriages are built on teamwork. A mutual respect, a healthy dose of admiration, and a never-ending portion of love and grace.” ~Fawn Weaver It’s not often your friend gets married on your birthday. (Yes, my birthday. The big 4-0!)

Choc-Cherry Jelly Cakes
Last month’s SABH prompt, as described by Miss Sweet was to take a childhood favourite and turn it into something bigger, better or even maybe something a little bit adult.

Chocolate Coconut Cakes with Sugar-free Icing
