Yes, I’m painting. I just don’t have anything finished to show you so…

Fine confections, not fine art–that’s what I completed this week–two batches of cupcakes to be precise. The first was chocolate with coconut frosting. The second was vanilla almond with coconut frosting. Have I mentioned that I tend to be a fly by the seat of your pants sort in the kitchen? Well yeah, I like to improvise rather than adhere to a strict recipe. So for both batches, I sorta wung it. I looked at alotta recipes from various sources, made some notes and then got to baking. It worked out A-OK. Everyone who came by to stuff their cute little faces with sugary treats reacted with nothing but smiles and yums and thank yous. I was surprised and delighted to find that the vanilla almond cupcakes came out on top in a purely non-scientific taste test. Delighted because I reallyreally wung it with these. Know what else I did? I actually wrote down what I did! Exclamation point because I rarely do that. I think this is only the second time I’ve bothered to record a recipe I came up with. For all you bakers and cupcake junkies I’ll include the winning recipe after the jump.
well so, hesitant hugs, depending on which holiday you choose to celebrate.
