coconut

Oink oink! Come on, don't listen to them, just one cupcake won't hurt you! Just half? Just one piggie? Mmmmmmm pork!

I love the idea of making cupcakes small enough to fit into an egg carton. So much cheaper than a cupcake carrier and cute to boot!

Some birds just won't settle for sticks and hair and dirt to make a nest. They need shredded coconut, lovingly hand-dyed and placed on a cookie. Of course these most special of all birds only lay candy eggs, my favorite!

So stoic, these coconut snowmen. So brave, so loving. I'll free you from your chilly prison! Meet my tongue, your new best friend.

I've never seen a muffin covered in chocolate but I'll take it!

What an adorable snack! I'd like to see a whole flock of truffle sheep roaming across the vast expanse of my kitchen table, nibbling the crumbs left over from last night's dinner, bleating plaintively, aware that I'll be nibbling on their salty little pretzel legs soon.

Spring is coming! At least that's what the frozen crocuses in my flowerbed are telling me. They look cold though. These baby birdies have warm coconut nests to keep them toasty while they yell for mama. I think they'll be okay.
