lime and coconut cake

So, now that I am 27 I am seriously noticing my age and I am not cool with it.

Not only can I not drink a million beers anymore without any repercussion, I can’t finish off that night out with fried chicken and wake up looking and feeling fresh. Dang! I mean the hangovers I can deal with as Orange is the New Black is out and I am only up to episode two but the chicken arms!? That I cannot.

Strangely, I have also developed a love for cake and have a desire to join a knitting club. This however I do not feeling guilty about because craft days are fun and I choose my choice. But cake? This is definitely a sign of my age. Lucky that this cake is a guilt free cake version of a pina colada … without the hangover.
