Now that we have this great new addition, it was time to try it out.
Barefoot Contessa's Coconut Cupcakes
I invited Julius to join me in the kitchen for this adventure, he has a much longer history with desserts afterall.
Watching that machine go I wondered how much more of an effort it must have been in the olden days to make a dough. I would probably never bake in the olden days.
The cake portion came out of the oven looking very promsing but as we tasted one it was a little bland. We have put less coconut as recommended. But then we made the frosting....
Then frosting was sweet. It was very sweet. I could only ate 2/3 of my cupcake. Having said that, if one has a sweet tooth, they were probably right on the mark. My co-workers seemed to think so.
I often skipped desserts because they were too sweet but now that I can control the amount of sugar in the process, who knows? Maybe it is time to keep an eye on my waistline.
