I remember when I was travelling to New York, Eliana gave me some great tips and pointers for going there. I'm super sorry that we were not able to meet up anything, but I'll be back in New York in March with my best friend for Spring Break. We'll be partying it up and eating some delicious foods.
I do want to apologize to everyone for not posting for a while. School and recruiting has been taking over my life lately, but I have some extra time this weekend because I don't have midterms until next week. I had a date this weekend, one of many since my ex and I broke up. He decided to cook me dinner while I made him these cupcakes with this topping. He loved it. I made the Devil's Food cupcakes from a mix, but doctored it up. I used this recipe for Chocolate Rum Cake because I had some Malibu lying around...well because my friend Elan is awesome and bought me some when I was super depressed.
Anyways, back to my blog, I've been trying to get myself back into baking, and I'll attempt to make something weekly. Wish me luck!
Yum, chocolate and coconut make a wonderful combination.
ReplyDeleteThey look lovely, especially with the coconut on top!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you are back to baking and blogging! The cupcakes look great. Keep your head up.
ReplyDeleteHi Nina! I've missed you! Your cupcakes look and sound amazing!
ReplyDeleteThese look like the perfect cupcakes at the end of a nice dinner! I love how coconutty the frosting looks. Too bad I can't eat it :( due to my allergies.
ReplyDeleteCoconut rum sounds like the perfect addition. Hope it made a good impression on your date! I completely understand being totally consumed by school. Good luck on your exams!
ReplyDeleteHi Nina! Your cupcakes look fantastic - I'm not at all surprised that they were a hit with your date :) Good to see you back!
ReplyDeleteThey look awesome Nina. Thanks so much for taking time out of your busy schedule to bake along with me. And the next time you are in NYC we will DEFINITELY get together. Good luck with midterms next week.
ReplyDeleteI have missed you! Nice, on a date where "he" is making you dinner and you bake the dessert, I like him already . . . good for you!
ReplyDeleteEliana is a sweetheart isn't she? I just had to bake along with her this week and it looks like we both were glad we did. I love your cupcakes, especially with the Malibu Rum, YUM!
Glad you are back to blogging...I have missed seeing your yummy creations. And great idea to doctor up a cake mix and add rum...sounds perfect to me.
