    Yuck. This was really just too artificial, sickeningly sweet and we ended up throwing most of it away- even my kids wouldn't eat it and generally speaking we love tapioca, blueberries and coconut. And, with just a little experience a from scratch cake and icing is about as easy and will taste 100% better.

    We loved this cake!!! I couldn't find the WHITE cranberry juice so just used regular cranberry juice; other than that, the recipe was absolutely perfect as is and was soooooooooo easy!! Thanks, Sandra, as I can always count on you to bring me fantastic desserts that get rave reviews. Love your show, your tips, and your books, too!! Keep up the good work as you are my BFF. :
