Canadian magazines and coconut lime cupcakes

magazines from H
The magazine swap continued throughout our vacation 
with the arrival of these glossy Canadian magazines 
sent to me by Lorrie and H (a.k.a. Pondside).
Thank you, ladies.

One recipe that I couldn't wait to try once we got back to Normandy
was the one for coconut lime cupcakes from style at home.


The frosting was very rich so I omitted the white chocolate 
and as there's only two of us chez nous I halved the quantities.


Seven pretty cupcakes for the SP and I to enjoy this Easter weekend.

  2. Happy Easter Maggie! Your cupcakes look delicious - and how smart to make half a recipe. I'd have eaten too many if they'd been on my sideboard! I am enjoying my French and British magazines, thank you!

  4. Well you did well with such an array of great magazines - I love both Lorrie and H and keep trying to fit in another Western Canada trip so we can go visit with them in beautiful Victoria.

    The cupcakes must be yummy - pretty too. You have some great pieces of Emma Bridgewater 'Black Toast' china Maggie - and your hen on a nest is similar to mine!

    Easter blessings - have a special weekend.
    Love, Mary

  7. Halving recipes is such a good idea with just two of us. Your cupcakes and daffodils look so pretty on your sideboard. I'm enjoying the French and British magazines you sent - such a lovely way to relax for a few minutes in the midst of busy days.

  12. Daffodils are so lovely to have at Easter time. It would be wonderful to find some in our town but there were none for sale and we had a big snowfall this week...your cupcakes look delicious! Welcome home!
