April cupcakes for the Easter Holiday

Easter is a great opportunity to bake.
So, I fired up my oven and starting baking...CUPCAKES!

Strawberry-Lime Stuffed Cupcakes

A cupcake with a special surprise inside...a STRAWBERRY.
The cupcake is adorned with a lime glaze icing and topped with a sprinkling of colored sugar. It makes for a simple, easy & delicious sweet nibble.

I found this recipe on the Food Network website. This cupcake is at its best eaten a few hours after being baked. The day after, the cupcake is not as moist. So...if you have a favorite moist cake recipe, use it instead.

Coconut Cupcakes

by Barefoot Contessa (Ina Garten)

Here is another recipe which is fabulous! It's also great for Easter Holiday baking. You can embelish the cupcakes in an easter theme.

The S E C R E T to making these great: don't overmix the batter when adding the flour & buttermilk alternately.

My passions: Baking ~ Music ~ Singing & Playing Guitar

I have been involved in music all of my life. I sang and played guitar in church and for wedding ceremonies and various functions. I had made coconut cupcakes for the group that I sang with in the Easter Season last year.

I KNOW THAT MY REDEEMER LIVES
By Scott Soper

I know that my Redeemer lives, the One who calls me home.
I long to see God face to face, to see with my own eyes.


REFRAIN:
I know that my Redeemer lives, that I shall rise again.
I know that my Redeemer lives, that I shall rise again.


I know that I shall one day see the goodness of the Lord,
when God will wipe away our tears, and death will be no more.


REFRAIN:


The last day I shall rise again, shall be remade like God.
My home shall be by God’s own side, the dying, rising Lord.


REFRAIN:
