It's under coconut cupcakes. You could leave out the coconut and have yourself the best vanilla cupcake in the world. Now I hate to build it up, but it's the one recipe (baking) that I'm sure of. The cake is dense and needs to really be whipped up. I think the caramel would be great with it. I have made caramel frosting over and over and over to get it right. It is still not posted because I obsess on perfection and have many burnt caramel trails in trash to prove it. Determination or kitchen insanity?

It’s kind of rare that a food blogger talks about stuff other than food.  This was one of my favorite posts of the week on the many many blogs I frequent.  It reminded me that sometimes you have to bring your expectations down a notch or you may never be happy.  It’s a great little piece of writing.  Oh.  And there are cupcakes.

In truth, the frosting was very good, just a little more buttery than I'd expected. Thanks for telling me about your tea/vanilla cupcakes, BTW - It's so nice to know other people have had similar experiences!
