Coconut craziness

I love coconut. I found this recipe on Bon Appetit. Vanilla bean coconut cupcakes.

The icing was creamy but I wish it came out a little thicker. Either way it was great and I topped it off with toasted coconut flakes. I ran out of vanilla beans so I used vanilla paste instead and it was an excellent substitute.

Strawberry cupcakes

I recently went to Sprinkles in Beverly Hills and decided to have their strawberry cupcake. It was fantastic-- moist, delicious and you could definitely taste the fresh strawberries.

Since I don't live near that area I decided to make a cupcake like the sprinkles strawberry cupcake at home!! I received many compliments and I was happy with the taste of this creation!!
