I made my friend Jenna a super tasty layered chocolate cake with white chocolate frosting for her birthday. The cake, which was from a Saint Cupcake recipe, is light, fluffy and rich, just the way a cake should be. I have been asked not to share the recipe since it will soon be in a Saint Cupcake cookbook (which will be fabulous!), but here is the frosting recipe! It is creamy, buttery and just a tad chocolately.
Recipe adapted from Baked‘s frosting recipe for their Whiteout Cake

So, way back about 7 or 8 months ago, I saw this recipe for delicious banana coconut muffins. I ripped it out and placed it on the counter, planning on making them in the near future. Weeks went by, no muffins. Months went by, still no muffins. Seriously, it was getting absurd.
Brice kept asking me “Can I throw this paper away?” To which I would defensively reply, “No! I’m going to make those! …. sometime…”
And then I promptly would not make them. I even bought the ingredients, but just never followed through. Until last weekend!

Finally summer has arrived (well sort of, these cloudy mornings are still driving me a bit crazy) and what is better than a scoop of delicious ice cream on a hot day? Oh! I know! [Holds hand up like an awkward little kid in class] How about a scoop of delicious ice cream with a fresh baked cookie?
