Cupcakes...

Thursday night I tried my attempt at making Mom's Coconut & Raspberry-Filled cupcakes.  I'm a little new to the cupcake baking scene as this is only the second time that I've baked cupcakes.  Luckily I didn't do too bad of a job (especially the fact that the two dozen were gone by the end of the day).

I didn't realize how many people completely disliked coconut until I was saying something about bringing them in to work on Friday.  My coworkers were complete polar opposites on the coconut spectrum...either they HATED coconut, or they LOVED coconut.  I never cared for coconut as a kid, but now I am just eat it right out of the bad as I'm using it for recipes.

I posted a picture of the finished product on Facebook.  One of my coworkers commented that he would stop in the office even though he wasn't working to get one.  What surprised me was the fact that he came in to the facility just to pick up a cupcake!

Here's the finished batch of cupcakes...

This is my only other attempt at cupcakes.  They were Peanut Butter & Jelly Chocolate Cupcakes.  They weren't too bad, just the next time I will not be using crunchy peanut butter in my frosting.  It was a huge pain in the a** to spread!
