Coconut Weecakies




I am a nut, literally and figuratively. I love nuts (I get that from my Mom). I guess, technically, coconut is not really a nut, but then, maybe it is. Anyway, when my Daughter-in-Law suggested a coconut weecakie, I thought: "I like coconut." That thought was backed up when, over the Easter weekend, I had a piece of fantastic Italian Cream Cake with coconut.(Thanks Claudia) It gave me an idea...and TA-DA! I made coconut weecakies! The cake is made with coconut milk and butter and eggs and all of those wonderful ingredients that go into a cake. Then it is dipped in white chocolate, rolled in fresh coconut and decorated with a chocolate flower. OOOOO...creamy coconut cake truffle with more coconut on the outside. I am hungry. Hope you are too.

I Can't Sleep! (Origional post accidently deleted)

I'm re-posting these pictures that were part of my very first blog. Blogging is new to me and I accidently deleted them. Please bear with me while I figure this out. It's a good thing that we can keep learning new things, isn't it? Anyway, back to Weecakies.......

Chocolate Cupcake Weecakie

The origional design comes from Bakerella.blogspot.com. She was featured on thepioneerwoman.com last month and I thought that I would try to do these for fun. THEY WERE FUN! So then my mind started racing, and I have come up with some other ideas.....

Petits Fours Weecakie

White cake truffle dipped in white chocolate coating and rolled in white cake sprinkles, decorated with a free-form flowerbud out of white chocolate








Carrot Weecakie

Carrot cake truffle dipped in white chocolate coating, rolled in chopped pecans with a chocolate-formed carrot on top. Just the right reward for the Easter Bunny!

Fresh Strawberry Weecakies


Strawberries in the grocery store are one of the first signs of warm weather. The smell of ripe strawberries is equal to, well, I can't think of what it is equal to other than heaven. I love strawberries, so naturally I had to come up with a strawberry Weecakie. These ones
are very formal. They would be great on a dessert buffet, for your afternoon tea, or a special treat for a favorite someone.





Whimsical, with an added crunch from the cake sprinkles on the sides, these strawberry Weecakies would be perfect for a little girl's birthday party. The sprinkles are fun and inviting (and they get all over everything!)
Celebrate Spring and have a party with fresh strawberry Weecakies today.
