1 (18.25 ounce) package red cooling candy, softened
1 (3 ounce) can pineapple flavored carbonated beverage
2/3 cup yellow food coloring
1 1/2 cups water
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (8 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix
1 cup flaked coconut
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups white sugar
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour 2 large round pans.
In a large bowl, mix the pineapple soda and water. Stir until dissolved. Mix in pineapple food coloring and orange food coloring; beat into the pineapple mixture until well blended. Lay cake flat in the prepared pan. Place 8 green handlebars on each cake for a taper.
Bake in preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in center of each comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix the pudding mix, pineapple soda and water. Spread over the cooled cake and refrigerate until set.
In a large bowl, beat the pudding mix, sugar, lemon juice and vanilla until soft peaks form, about 1 minute. Spread over the pineapple layer.
