Sitting patiently at the kitchen table, I count the seconds until I hear the timer ring. The time has finally come; dessert is ready. I gently take the baking sheet out of the refrigerator and place it on the counter, salivating at the very sight of this culinary creation. This isn’t just any dessert, but a masterpiece. I hold up the palm-sized fudge cake to my mouth as bits of chopped pecans and shredded coconut fall off the edges. I take a bite. Pure bliss. And it’s all thanks to Maria Lopez and her DIY recipe.
