I’m writing this on the day of Christmas eve, listening to Hanson’s Snowed in, because it doesn’t quite feel like Christmas without it, after I just frosted 2 dozen cupcakes.

Before continuing I would just like to add that I have never been a huge fan of coconut, but in certain dishes and desserts I find it positively delish.
