We had a fun time this Easter weekend with the family.
Sunday was my sister’s actual birthday so we headed over to her house for some BBQ celebration. My sister is going on a week vacation with my mom, so we kept the food simple and tried to use up every food they had left in their kitchen.
I made mini-corn dogs.
Even though I made the error of using coarse polenta instead of corn meal, they still turned out well and everyone loved eating them.
I made cupcakes too. I made them at home and brought them to the party.
From blah……
to……Ta-dah!!!!
These Easter themed cupcakes were inspired by Martha Stewart. I made coconut cupcakes, frosted them with buttercream and then topped with toasted coconuts. I then added chocolate eggs to dress them up.
I was in toasted coconut heaven.
My 1 year old nephew, who has just started walking, was the life of the party. My sister will have her hands full on this one 🙂
I tried to get a picture with him, but this is the closest I could get him to stay put. He either wanted to climb on top of me or jump out.
I hope you had a wonderful weekend.
Healthy Coconut 
ahh! I can’t believe your newphew is walking! How exciting. Those cupcakes are freaking adorable! I want one 🙂
Aww! Your nephew is adorable! He got so big! I love those cupcakes. They look delicious. I love the toasted coconut 🙂
the toasted coconuts made the cupcakes….they’re the key to making them taste really good 🙂
oh my gosh, at first i thought the corndogs were actually what you turned into cupcakes. now that would have been the ultimate sweet & salty dessert!
love the way you think….it can be a cupcake, but I’m not that creative in designing a cupcake that looks like a corn dog, lol!
However, those corn dogs do taste sweet and savory. They were a hit.
Oh wow your nephew is so big- walking already! I remember when he was born. Lea you have to come see baby JD. He is getting so big- 14 weeks already. Hope you are doing well.
Lora….miss you! I hope I can visit this summer, I am missing out on baby JD and it makes me sad 😦
I want Cher and I to drive down and spend some time with you.
Everything looks great Lea. Those cupcakes are adorable.
Those cupcakes are absolutely GORGEOUS! 🙂
