Tipper, I just received your cookbook today. Thank you so much for signing it for me! ❤ I can't wait to try all of your delicious recipes and read all of the Appalachian folklore.❤

Yay! Hope you enjoy!

Where did you buy it at do you have a link if it’s still for sale?

[@karenhopper1691]

@Katie Jo Mikell I bought it on Etsy from her Blind Pig and Acorn store. She had a link in the video prior to this one for it.

[@KatieJoMikell]

@@karenhopper1691 I’m sorry I don’t know what video you’re talking about I just joined a week ago so I’ve just been watching some videos and I haven’t seen the book yet it’s OK if you don’t have a link I’ll ask Tipper.

God help Ms Cindy!

[@darlenemartin248]

Oh wow, my mom would have loved that cake. She loved peaches and coconut anything.

[@grumpyoldman7948]

I love when Corrie sings the little song at the end. I had a cat years ago named Little One. My little niece called her "Ittie". I made up a song for Ittie that goes like this: I love you, Ittie. Oh yes, I do. I love you, Ittie. It's true - ooh. I love you, Ittie. Ooh, ooh. Oh, Ittie, I love you. I'm trying to comment often to help support your channel, so I'm typing whatever pops in my head. Therefore, you get this. I don't know how to spell 'It-eee', but Corrie can substitute Olive. Praying for y'all.

When I was a child, we used to drive into the "city" and eat at Duff's for special occasions, usually a couple times a year, and I just loved it. Sadly it closed. I'll always remember the fried shrimp and chocolate mouse.

[@keeyore61]

Mama always made the fruit cocktail cake, and this cake, too. The only difference, she used crushed pineapple instead of the peaches. Both are so good!

[@biffboffo]

Pineapple sounds good with the coconut!

[@johnnabuzby6103]

I'll bet that a can of pineapple and a can of peaches would work well also. Either way it sounds mouth-watering. 😋

[@matthewharper7333]

Isn't that a tornado cake with the pineapple? It sounds like I'm trying to be funny- but, I really think it is called a tornado cake.

[@livinglife8333]

@@matthewharper7333 basically yes, with just a bit of difference.

[@terricoe7766]

I’ve lived in The Appalachians all my life , I’ve never heard of either. Wow that cake looked so very 😋scrumptious💕. I would definitely put nuts on and or on mine. Thank you Miss sweet T👍 I hope & pray Matt’s momma is doing better😋Blessings to your whole family 🫶 you all!

[@gaylam6378]

My mom always made what she called a cherry bubble cake with canned sour cherries. Made really the same way. With the same topping minus the coconut. It is so good! I make it occasionally but my husband is not a fan of cherries and I sure don't need it all! It's called bubble cake because the cherries come to the top and gives a bubble like look. Update: I looked at her recipe and It is exactly the same. Only using cherries instead of the peaches or fruit cocktail. If you like cherries give that a try sometime!

[@sylviasutton8563]

I love coconut and peaches I think I'm going to make it for my birthday cake which is in less than a week thank you for sharing it I am praying for Miss Cindy and your whole family God bless you and keep you strong

[@jeanniebair4103]

I’ve made this cake for years except instead of peaches we’ve always made it with crushed pineapple and double icing, we called it aunt Pats cake. It’s my youngest daughter’s favorite birthday cake.

[@IMOO1896]

I remember that Duffs in Gainesville, and even now 99% of the babies born in the north Ga area were born at the Gainesville hospital.

[@tcperry66]

The best cooks always make a mess when cooking.

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

😀

[@troyjones2687]

I love cakes with that runny frosting that soak the cake without being mushy. 😋

[@sharonpults1177]

I'll bet you could use a potato masher on those peaches as well. It looks really good. My mother used to make the fruit cocktail cake many years ago. Thanks for the fond memory.

[@rebeccalynn7795]

there was a duff's in florence al too. this cake reminds me of one mom called a poke cake. almost the same icing and you would use a tooth pick to poke the cake so icing would flow into it lol.

[@sonyafox3271]

Yep, in Florence, KY we used to go there to that one a lot, and, especially on Sunday afternoons with my grandparents and sometimes a few extra family members to boot!

[@pentre33]

Sending blessings to your family especially Miss Cindy ♥️✝️🇺🇸 thanks for the recipe ♥️

[@suecarpenter1016]

I'm going to have to make this cake!! It looks so yummy! I've made cakes similar to this one and I usually poke holes in the cake before pouring the icing over the hot cake. I think it helps the hot cake absorb the icing a little quicker. Thank you for sharing your recipes and techniques! Praying for Ms. Cindy and you all. ❣🙏🙏🙏

[@Carballoca]

I make a poke cake using strawberry jello with a white cake mix bake in a 9x11 take a wooden spoon and poke holes all over the cake mix. Take large box of jello strawberry mix as stated poor all over the cake. Place cake in fridge to set up then frost it with cool whip decroate with sliced or chopped strawberries great summer time dessert. The reason I typed all this out I was thinking about your cake if you poked holes in it before putting the coconut icing drizzle on it would let was seep farther down into the cake..😁

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Granny used to make that cake and I just loved it! I need to make one 😀 Thank you for reminding me about it 😀

[@pampam6191]

There was a Duffs in Knoxville Tennessee years ago. I enjoyed going there. Love your videos, brings memories of growing up. ❤

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Thank you 😀

[@karenbrewer5864]

I ordered your cookbook from Amazon. We are planning on coming to Boone and hope to see you to sign it. That cake looked so good. I’ve lived in the Appalachians all my life but had never heard of decoration day until I married my husband. His family called it the Memorial Meeting. There was always dinner on the grounds and special singing and preaching. So many have passed that we don’t have it anymore but we still put flowers on the graves.

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Thank you Karen! I look forward to meeting you 😀

I worked at Duffs here in knoxville as a teenager during the world's fair 82 and we couldn't keep the hurricane cake filled on the buffet bar. People loved it. That's a good cake. Take care sister. Good share

[@tammyeritter6049]

Tipper I’m sure you’ve had a pig pickin cake before, the one with the yellow cake mix with the mandarin oranges in the batter and the frosting is crushed pineapple whipped topping and vanilla pudding. It’s so good and an old recipe for sure. If you haven’t though I’ll be glad to post it. That Dufs cake looks great! Must try it 👍🏻

Wonderful!

[@meloniemurillo2885]

I seen someone making a cake similar to this cake. I made it last week and it was so good. It was called a Tornado Cake. It was made basically the same way except with pineapple instead of peaches and instead of walnuts it calls for pecans. Yummy.

Love kitchen shears ✂️❤ If I don’t make a mess, it’s usually off. I don’t know how else to say it. It’ll just taste like something is off😂

There was a Duffs in Greenwood Indiana at the mall. Our Duffs was a buffet. They had a conveyor belt that they put different individual dishes of food on, and you would grab a dish to put on your tray

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Love that!

[@KarenInTx]

That trick with the kitchen shears is what I do if I buy packaged slaw mix or salad. I just put it in the bowl and use the shears on it till it is the size I want. Those peachs would chop easy with shears if someone wanted. Those scissors do all kinds of things. This is one of those cakes that is always a winner. I have to make a birthday cake for Buz next week. This might be something different. Of course he thinks he has to put ice cream on any cake. You surely are blessed to have 2 wonderful mothers in law. In all the busy days right now take a deep breath and thank God for blessings. Praying for yall. Have a great week.

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Thank you!! I am blessed 😀 I use those shears a lot 😀

I used to love Duffs in Atlanta. Like you, my eyes were always on the soft serve ice cream machine. When I was little my grandma’s sister ran a little diner and every time we went in there she would make us kids the tallest cone that she could pile up. I loved my Aunt Roxie! Thank you for this recipe that brought me so many good memories. Give our best wishes and love to Miss Cindy and Mrs. Wilson.

Looks so good! I use the fruit in its own juice. The reason I mention it is you said it’s super sweet. I also use unsweetened just plain dried coconut. Ingles has a brand and it’s organic unsweetened coconut and I love it. It’s still plenty sweet on its own. Just a thought of how to maybe cut down on the sweetness. I enjoy the end of the video where y’all are just talking . It’s like visiting with y’all. I sent a card with my cookbook money. Should be there soon.
