I shall pass along your complement to Alainne and Hans!  Thanks!

The marzipan regular colour was good for the inner dough part.  The "cream
filling" was made from grated, chopped coconut, white chocolate and a little
cocoa butter, and the outer layer is coconut grated, chopped finely and
toasted in a pan on the stovetop (ok, I did that part).  I just overtoasted
a bit to make the bottom darker.  They actually dissected a twinkie to make
sure it was actually the same inside (of course they ate several of the
models) and they rolled three seperate balls of the filling and placed them
side-by-side inside the shell and the very finishing touch was when they
poked the three holes in the bottom and piped some filling in.  It was a
very fun evening!

Now that I have posted better pictures, you should go back to get a really
good view.
