I'm not much of a goal setter and I don't usually make New Year's Resolutions. In fact I've always hated them, but this year I had a few things I decided I want to accomplish. Nothing too big, but things to better my life, even if its just something to give me some time to myself to relax and do something for me. So, here's one that is just that.
It's no secret that I love baking, and it's also no secret that I love cupcakes. I think it would be so fun to have a little cupcake shop one day. Seeing how I've never made cupcakes completely from scratch that didn't follow a recipe, I want to try to make cupcakes at least once month . So, I will probably post monthly on my cupcake of the month. To start the year off, for January I made a coconut cupcake with lime cream cheese frosting. I did use basic cupcake and frosting recipes as a guide to start this process off, but added my own adjustments to make them my own and give them the flavors.
The Result: My cupcakes didn't turn out as I hoped. The coconut flavor was pretty mild, and the frosting wasn't as thick or cream cheesey tasting as I wanted. They were still pretty tasty though, especially after a couple days. This is one I want to go back and work on more though. But as for February, I already have a new flavor cooking in my head.And isn't my cupcake model so cute? I think so.

I love cupcakes and bake them ALL the time, pretty much for everything! Too bad we don't live by each other or we could bake together! I will have to show you my garden party cupcakes one of these days - they were great fun!
That's awesome! I love the idea and will sacrifice my self to taste test any - that is ones that Ben doesn't beat me too!!! Good for you!!!
