Thanks. I hope to get to it soon, but I am starting a remodel tomorrow and there will be no baking for like 4 weeks!

is there a healthier substitute for confectioners sugar in frosting?
like something that provides the right spreading consistency to frosting so that its not runny but at the same time not be so sweet like confectioners sugar?

I love your site, I can’t cook to save my life but I can make a mean cupcake, seeing your blog and pics just showed me a new level! Thanks for the inspiration, I’m going to try some of these :)
Btw, when I’m reading your recipes and posts, the links to the right cut off part of the text, is it me?

The cutting off of the text is an issue with the three column CSS I coded up. It is fine, however, if the browser window is opened up to fit the 900 pixels the layout needs. I view the blog with the browser window open fully on my tiny laptop (13″ screen)… So try maximizing the browser window. That should fix it.

I made these cupcakes this weekend and I substituted the remainin milk for coconut milk. It worked pretty well and the cupcakes were a hit. The only adjustment I would do next time is add more lime juice and zest to the batter.

I made these cupcakes, substituting the milk for coconut milk and adding some sweetened coconut to the batter. Then, I filled them with a key lime pie filling (made with a water bath, like a custard) and topped them with a buttercream icing, made again with coconut milk plus lime zest. The coconut was not overpowering - very smooth and understated and the key lime filling plus the zest in the frosting gave it a good creamy/tangy punch. They were a HUGE hit with my family (critical eaters, all of them) at our recent reunion. You can see a picture here: http://cynicaldragonfly.blogspot.com/2006/08/im-all-juiced-up-on-family.html
