It is ALWAYS time for cake.

Sunny morning, feeling poorly (kidney infection, boo), loads to do...

what else is a girl to day other than bake?

Really, there are a zillion other things I should have been doing on my day off, but the lure of flour, eggs and sugar were calling me.

I confess, I cheated a little. Chocolate and coconut are one of my favourite flavour combinations and I had this jar of coconut spread (a lidl special a couple of months ago) lurking with no real purpose....until it became instant icing that is! Mmm.


It doesn't look all that appetising but oh man it was good. I wish it was a permanent product!

It had to be cupcakes. I'm reading "Meet me at the cupcake cafe" and it's got me inspired.

These are now in my cake tin and ready to come to work with me tomorrow.

Well, all but this one.
