Bonnie arrived at Decoyise’s Waldorf, MD home on Mother’s Day. Decoyise’s Mother’s Day lunch menu and recipes that include the Buttermilk Chocolate Cake seen in the photo were published with the article. The recipe for the prize-winning Coconut Cake is available at this link. The Washington Post Cookbook is available for sale from the usual book sources. BTW – try the chocolate covered grapes recipe. Delicious!
