Coconut Lemon Cupcakes
Vegan cupcakes took over my world yesterday. I baked them for a friend's birthday soiree. Just follow the recipe on pg. 107, and add lemon everywhere it says lime! (no limes left after 5 May...) The coconut flavor is abundant: coconut oil, coconut extract, coconut milk, Let's Do Organic finely shredded coconut, and topped with LDO coconut flakes. Whew, that's a whole lot of coconut, and if you're a fan like me, you must try these cakes.
I see a cupcake carrier in my future, but they all made it to the party just fine, and the lemon on top helped protect them.
Today is my birthday, and I have it narrowed down to two cakes -- one of which Art will bake tomorrow...
For now, it's off to the YMCA for my favorite dance class. She plays hip music like Tribe Called Quest & George Clinton!

Yayyy! Happy B-Day to you!!! :) Your cupcakes are gorgeous, and I hope your birthday cake is just as lovely (and delicious)!
I'd love to be at that dance class with you - sounds like a blast. :)

Happy birthday Vicki!
Judging by Art's tofu/peaches creation, your birthday cake should be delicious!
You're cupcakes look beautiful, but I keep going back to the photo of your poundcake. I haven't had poundcake since going veg. It looks so yummy.

Happy Birthday Vicki! Those cupcakes looks awesome. I would love to make those but the shortage of coconuts here somewhat hinders me to make this fab recipe
I'd be cuckoo for those coco cuppers.
I'd love a cupcake carrier, but I really don't have the room :(
Happy Birthday, Vicki! The cupcakes are beautiful! I'm sure they were a hit at the party. I can't wait to see what Art bakes for you!
I left a comment on the post below too!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY VICKI!! Your cupcakes look smashing!! I'm a big fan of lemon and coconut and having them together would be heaven! Can't wait to see what kind of a cake Art made for you.
Happy Birthday Vicki! I hope you had the cake, the dance class, and everything else of your dreams, because you deserve it. That dance class sounds so fun. And I like your cupcake carrying idea-I've used a muffin tin, and also a deep pyrex dish. Like Urban Vegan, I don't have any room for a cupcake carrier.
Aww...happy birthday Vicki!
and those lemon cakes look so delicate and lovely!
Mmmmm...Cupcakes! And coconut too! I think Dreena posted about this really good buy on a cupcake carrier a while back, if you want to check it out.
Oops, I forgot... Happy Birthday!
Very pretty cupcakes! You always have those big coconut flakes and they always look so neat.
And a happy mother's day to you! And belated birthday!
Wow, I love coconut and lemon combined! Your cupcakes look so springy (as in the season...not as in 'bouncy') Lol! Yum!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!! Your birthday is one day before mine! Cool! Anyhow, I hope you had a great time! I wonder which cake Art baked? :)
Well, happy birthday, lady! I hope your new year is filled with much love, peace, laughter and hugs :D
