Strawberry Blossom Cake

1  prepared round angel food cake

1  cup flaked coconut

1  drop red food coloring

1  12-ounce can fluffy vanilla frosting

3  cups halved strawberries, hulled

½ cup granulated sugar.

 

In a plastic bag, toss coconut with food coloring until pastel pink.  Place cake on a serving plate.  Cover sides and top with frosting.  Sprinkle tinted coconut over frosting.  Cut cake into 8 slices, leaving all slices in place.   From the center, gently pull cake slices outward and slightly separate to resemble petals of an open flower.    Add sugar to strawberries and toss to coat.  Spoon sweetened strawberries into center of flower.
