Of lemon curd and toasted coconut...

Or Update:Cupcake (since Blogger isn't letting me comment).

I spent a good portion of the day yesterday baking up so yummy-licious lemon coconut cupcakes. From scratch! I had a slight problem with the runny frosting/thick glaze. I sprinkled the tops with toasted coconut, so the frosting/glaze issue wasn't much of an issue. They looked pretty. They smelled wonderful. I wanted to eat.

Only my mother would partake of and enjoy the lemony coconutty goodness of these lovely cakes. Here are the complaints as follows:

• The Father said: "It's too sticky and messy. Why's the middle soft? Did you cook it long enough?" I then explained that the "soft" part was lemon filling. And, sorry, I can't make frosting/glaze not sticky. I then refused to share any future cupcakes with him as he was extremely rude and a big ol' poopyhead.
• The Boy said: "It has coconut.." I mentioned that he's eaten, and enjoyed, coconut on many occasions. "But it's brown coconut.." I explain that it's toasted and that toasted is good. Really good. "But it has brown coconut.." I growled and walked away. I managed to refrain from calling my son a poopyhead, too, but only barely.
• The Girl said: "It has lemon.." I mention that she likes lemonade. "No. Just..no." I remind her that she totally stole that from me and stomp off with my cupcakes.

Only The Mother-- dear, sweet, wonderful soul-- took a cupcake and said "They're wonderful!" So I will share my cupcakes-- all 24 of them (we are so gonna get fat)-- with my dear mom. I knew I loved her for a reason.
