Carrot, Coconut, Pineapple & Macadamia Cupcakes


A very slow coming post!
Back in September, my favourite team- The Swans, got into the grand-final, the big kahuna of AFL..
K and I traveled down to Melbourne, to hang out with my brother and his g.f E, and go to the Grand-final game...
Before that they played Freemantle..
I made these tasty, tasty Carrot, Coconut, Pineapple & Macadamia Cupcakes, for the game.
I took the recipe from "Vegan with a Vengeance", and added pineapple chunks.
I had many tasters, and they all said- "hmmn maybe my favourite ever"..
These were SO good.
I used a vegan buttercream coconut milk frosting- ugh a wee little bit of hydrogenation, but tasty!
They were made, in part with coconut cream, desicated coconut, grated carrot, pineapple juice, pineapple chunks & crushed macadamia nuts- woah mamma! :)
I only had time to do a half-arse decoration job- paper..
Anyhoo, they won, and the cupcakes were de-lish..
