OK, so I'm thinking I may want to do a butterbeer cake (ala Harry Potter) for my oldest son's birthday... Any ideas??

Squeeky3, I have a bottle of imitation coconut extract, made by Schilling. I don't recall the store where I found it, but it is out there somewhere. Good luck on your cake. Be sure to let us know how it turns out.
If you have knowledge, let others light their candles on it.

Never fear shadows. They simply mean there's a light shining somewhere nearby.

MacsMom, I made your Orange Dreamsicle into cupcakes, they are cooling on the counter. I was wondering what icing you recommend? Or anyone else who has made this cake/ used the recipe, send the suggestions. Thanks!

You can do an orange buttercream or a lighter whipped vanilla frosting!

Alrighty ...

So I finally baked the Coconut Cake in cupcake form ....

They turned out so delicious! And the texture is so soft and moist, I absolutely love them. The toasted flakes really did the trick. I'm going to decorate them tomorrow so looking forward to trying them with filling and toppping! yum

The recipe is a keeper thumbs_up.gif

I should mention that I didn't have any coconut flavoured pudding mix so I didn't add any. I also added an extra tablespoon of vegetable oil because I heard the coconut flakes can dry out the cake.

I toasted the coconut flakes in my toaster oven, set on 325 deg for about 3-4 mins ... I kept checking on them because I didn't want them burning!

Well crap, I guess it wasn't in the stars for me to make the coconut cupcakes. First I toasted the coconut in the toaster oven -- can you say "flaming coconut"? icon_eek.gificon_confused.gif Then I decide to use the rest of the bag, I get that all set up and start on my liquid ingredients. Who knew coconut cream and coconut milk could go bad INSIDE the can??? icon_confused.gif Ah well... icon_rolleyes.gif I guess it's time for strawberry cupcakes. Which works out well, I have pink icing made for roses next week in class. icon_biggrin.gif
