Hold on to your seats, folks, I’ve made cupcakes that were not from a box.
That’s right- for the second time ever…I’ve made cupcakes from scratch, and I may never go back! Okay, that’s a lie, I’m a working mom, so I’ll break out the boxed cake mix in a heartbeat. But I can now say without a doubt, that made-from-scratch cupcakes are the best ever. Especially these Coconut Lime Cupcakes that I discovered over at Bird on a Cake.
Her recipe is yummy and easy to follow. And even if I do break out the box cake mix, her icing recipe is a keeper. It’s less sweet and fluffier than icing from a can.
Head over to her blog for the full recipe, but in the meantime, check out the eye candy here…
Don’t forget- Sunday is Kitchen Week kick-off! Mom’s Test Kitchen will be here with a sweet little give-away, followed by neat tutorials all week.
I may be linking to these parties.
You totally had me at coconut lime…how could that not be good? I actually have never made a cake from scratch!!
I must try this! They look so yummy!
Sounds delicious!!
Sounds delicious!
Thanks for sharing my recipe, Melanie! I love these cupcakes soo much…I’m glad you do too! Some of my recipes do use a cake mix, but I always add a few ingredients to make them better. :0)
I suppose the next logical thing is for me to finally try one of Robin’s delicious recipes. How did you pipe your frosting on? It looks good!
Melanie they look YUMMY! I will be making these!! Thanks for sharing, Make sure you link these up to Heavenly Treats on Sunday!
