I finally got to bake a treat using something from the lovely parcel of cooking things that arrived this week. There's nothing like a parcel that is all about baking arriving at a job that has nothing to do with baking to liven up your work mood. Nothing that doesn't involved pharmaceuticals that is.
So what did I make? Cupcakes. Coconut cupcakes with coconut frosting and a pinch of toasted coconut to top them off. Not only were they the best cupcakes I've ever made, they were the best I've ever eaten.
Vanilla/coconut cake, light as air. Moist as all get out. Really nice flavour; not to sweet, not too blah. And the frosting...again, really light. And buttery smooth. Flecks of vanilla bean throughout. Light taste of coconut throughout. And that that bit of toasted coconut on top adds the perfect bit of crunchy yumminess to the whole thing. Woohoo! I have scaled the peak - however small - of cupcake making.
