Blue food coloring

coconut (40 grams, toasted, sweetened)

cocoa powder (nice quality)

tsp vanilla extract

chocolate eggs (mini)

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. 

Spread coconut flakes out on a baking sheet. Cook for about 5-10 minutes mixing once in between, they will toast quickly.  Set aside to cool. 

Increase temp to 340 degrees F.&nbsp;Butter and flour three 6-inch pans. I use cake strips on my pans for more even baking as well.

Sift the dry ingredients (including sugar) together in a large bowl.

Beat the wet ingredients together in a medium bowl.

Add the wet to the dry and mix until just combined.

Divide the mixture evenly into the cake pans.

Bake at for about 25-30 minutes or until the centers are springy to the touch.

For the Cake:

Beat the butter until light and fluffy. Add the confectioners' sugar, 1 tsp vanilla, 1/4 tsp salt, and milk. Mix.

Add blue food coloring until you get robins egg blue.

Transfer to a piping bag. Snip off the tip.&nbsp;

For the Vanilla Buttercream:

Pipe buttercream between each cake layer.

Pipe an outer layer and smooth out with a bench scraper.

Mix cocoa powder and vanilla or alcohol. Using a paint brush, splatter the cake and chocolate eggs to create a speckled look.

Chill for about 10-15 minutes.

Pipe a ring of buttercream on the cake. Press toasted coconut flakes onto ring. Create a nest shape.&nbsp;

Add eggs to the inside of the nest.
