Baking is one of those things that  I forget how much I love. Until…

The smells begin to fill the room. Rubbing lime zest between my fingers, becoming aware

And finally, completion. Perfection. Time well spent because it was intentional, purposeful.

This recipe for Coconut Lime Cupcakes can be found here at Two Peas And Their Pod.

I am normally a mix girl for cupcakes. The texture of these is, well, different. Perhaps more similar to a pound cake?

And the frosting, if I knew how to type the sound of choirs singing, this would do it.

What kind of treat is your favorite delight?

  1. Yummy! Haven’t met a cupcake I didn’t like! 🙂 I love your phrase “And the frosting, if I knew how to type the sounds of choirs singing, this would do it”.

  2. Coconut? Lime? What’s not to love! I will try with gluten free flour and organic sugar and let you know how it turns out! I wish I could make them RIGHT NOW.

  3. For me, it’s baking cookies. Chocolate chip, monster, peanut butter, snickerdoodle–nothing fancy. Mindless relaxation. Heavenly scents. Then the party in my mouth. 🙂

  4. Of course, the first thing I focus on are the photographs. Yes. I drool over the photographs, but I’m sure the cupcakes are just as delicious. Because I love coconut and lime just as much.

  5. Christa,
    LOVED your photos on this post. You really could stir up the other senses just with the visual. Also loved your last line.

    They sound wonderful.

  6. I love both coconut and lime. I found the recipe. If I can find my way out of the maze of “things to do” I may make some for my husband this weekend.

  7. If there ever was a poetic way to describe the process of baking, you have found it! I am big fan of coconut, not so much of lime but this made my mouth water. My favorite desert is the apple pie my husband makes.
