Coconut Cake with Lemon Filling and Egg Candy Decorations

The fresh, pure colors of Easter are white and gold, and this splendid cake celebrates the season with golden yellow layers filled with lemon curd and iced with cloudy white butter cream topped with angel flake coconut. The bright flavors of lemon and coconut bring springtime joy to the occasion. This is the cake to serve on your best pedestal, cut crystal if you have one.
