I Heart Cupcakes

To my good friend Em, mother of Z, and dweller of Baltimore: Thank you for my wonderful cupcake tea towel. It is, in a word, perfection... like you!
Also, I have a recipe for coconut cream cheese frosting if anyone is interested (below). I still prefer my coconut frosting (sans cream cheese and with a heckuva lot more powdered sugar), but this is a nice twist on an old favorite:
8 ounces cold cream cheese
8 tablespoons butter (1 stick)
1/8 teasp. of salt
4 3/4 cups sifted powdered sugar
1/2 teasp. vanilla extract
1/2 teasp. coconut extract
1/2 cup sweetened coconut shavings

Ah, shweety...we're so glad you like the towel. May it help you clean up after many future cupcake-making sessions!

Still gotta try that lemon cupcake recipe from a couple months back...

Wow, has a whole week gone by? I checked for a couple days... same vacuum story.. I check today and I had to confirm I went to the right page? I'm really behind on my reading! :) So nice to have you back.

Can't wait to try the recipe!
PS. I think of you every time I pass Crumbs. Take care!
