I follow a lot of Seattle based bloggers... and one of my favorite is a teenager who is now in Boston for college, Elissa from 17 and Baking. She's home for college and has made a cupcake whose flavors blow me away. Grapefruit and coconut and a green tea frosting... Who would have thought this combination would have been a good one? But as I look at her pictures, read the recipe... I ask myself again, why wouldn't this be a good combination?
Elissa has the full recipe posted on her blog.... you must check it out and you should probably add her to your blog roll. She's amazing.

valentine's day Candy cane Pop Rocks brownie cupcakes and coconut snowball cupcakes
True confession: Just as I've never seen certain classic movies like Star Wars, I've never tried Pop Rocks. I sortof know what they are supposed to do/taste like, but I suspect they are one of those candies that you have to truly experience, not just imagine. Well, if I'd known they came in candy cane flavor, I might have tried them sooner! Find out how to make them at the blog An American Cupcake in London (via Flickr).
I made some vanilla frosting and then split it evenly between two bowls and made one half red and added some peppermint extract. I added vanilla extract to the other half.
And since New York City, where I live, is in the middle of a blizzard, posting An American Cupcake in London's snowball cupcakes (devil's food with cream cheese frosting topped with coconut and white chocolate snowflake) also seemed appropriate - click through for recipe.

Which reminds me, I want to make a list of all the cupcake bakeries I visited this year (I can't properly do a list of all the companies' cupcakes I ate, because between CupcakeCamp LA, which I still have to write up, and our 6th anniversary party in NYC, which I'll also be writing about soon, it would take forever). I had a great time in Colorado this year and hope to return for more cupcakes and mountains.
