Toasted coconut & cacao nibs on top
I had been wanting to try this recipe for awhile, and it is a winner…even a non-lover of coconut said she enjoyed her cupcake. I also tried out my new ice cream cone cupcake pan! The ice cream cone cupcakes came out beautifully, but they were too top-heavy to stand on their own, even before frosting…wahh!!
Falling ice cream cone cupcakes = messy
Maia wisely suggested I try using skewers to hold the cone cakes up, perhaps stuck in floral foam…I will have to experiment with this next time…Dan took a cupcake-to-go in the Cup-a-Cake carrier, a brilliant solution for cupcakes on the go...

I also made a knitting needle case with fabric from my Knitters Tea Swap pal, and a set of origami coasters, for the birthday girl!

I need that cupcake pan. And those cupcake to-go containers are awesome! Did you buy a bunch?
the cupcake carrier is a total necessity! i love the origami coasters you made - how did you make those? post some close-ups if you can...they're super cute!
how's arrow doing in this heat, i hear CA has been sizzling for quite some time. We've been in the 100's for a few days now. poor hounds. they are hot and lazy. but they get dipped in the pool.
oh how I wish I could come knit with you and Maia -- tell her hello for me.
I wondered about the top heaviness of the ice cream cone pan!
