High Five Cupcakes Part 2 -- Lime Coconut


The second batch of cupcakes I made for NH5D were Lime Coconut. Dan was looking over my shoulder while I was browsing Coconut & Lime and saw a recipe for Lime Coconut cupcakes and forced me to make them. Seeing that he had just bought a bag of key limes that needed to get used, he didn't have to try too hard :-)

These cupcakes were nothing short of amazing. I seriously could not stop eating them. The cakes were nice and fluffy with a light lime flavor, but the icing really packed a punch of lime flavor. And the coconut... oh, the coconut! I'm tired of people talking smack about coconut, I love the stuff! Especially on cupcakes, yum! Originally I was just going to put some coconut on the edges of the cakes, but I decided instead to just dip them in it completely. I'm glad I did because the coconut really made these awesome! So boo on you non-coconut people! (ahem, Xian)

Boo. Coconut. Smack. Talk. Smack. Coconut is nasty. Bleck. Bleck. Bleck. Stringy nasty tasting stuff! A waste of flour and icing and time and High Five Day!

Now strawberry lime cupcakes, those sound freaking delicious! Heck, raspberry lime, blackberry lime...all sound amazing.
