Crap, it happened again.

I swore I wouldnt let it happen again. But it did. I forgot about you. Im so sorry! I will try hard to make it never happen again!

So, whats been going on in the baking aspect of my life: lots of baking! Usually I bake whenever im very stressed. So there you go.
I made delicious red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese frosting. AMAZING!
I made chocolate cupcakes with chocolate chip cookie dough in the middle, and a chocolate sour cream buttercream frosting. Holy. Freaking. Crap.
Lapse in memory of the past week or two...
Today I made a two layer chocolate cake which is currently cooling. The final product will be a batman cake for a birthday present :-)
Currently in the oven is a coconut pineapple cake, destined to be a birthday cake as well! Two birthdays in one day? Im one lucky lady!
The coconut cake is a basic yellow cake recipe (box cake? AHH! Scary!) with a few tweaks to it. I used coconut milk for the liquid, and coconut oil for the oil to give it more of a coconut oomph. I sprinkled brown sugar, toasted coconut and diced pineapple in the pan before putting the batter in. Currently in the oven, destined to be flipped, broiled till slightly crunchy, layered, and topped with a toasted coconut buttercream frosting!
I was looking for the right recipe to base my cake on, but I kept finding pineapple upside down cakes made with cake mix, pudding mix, cool whip, blah blah blah....What the heck? No plain old pineapple cake? No pineapples folded enthusiasticly into a creamy cake batter, leading to a carrot-cake-esque orgasm in your mouth after being frosted while still warm? I wasnt having any of it!

Unfortunately, time is of the essense, and I do not have time to figure out what the heck I put in the cake. I will compose some sort of recipe to post on here in the next few days, and I will for once try and take pictures of my baked goods so I can start my portfolio!
