A-Z Challenge Day 3: C is for Cupcakes and Caesar

This one is a toss up between two things: cupcakes - making them and eating them, and Caesar, my sock monkey!

I'm not a "from scratch" baker, but I'm really good at embellishing box mixes and fancying up otherwise plain cupcakes. And I'm not afraid to try bold flavors - just as long as they're gluten free.

As for Caesar, he became a part of my life over a year ago. One of my readers has a daughter who has cancer, and she loves seeing pictures of him and his friends getting into mischief.

This is Caesar:

And here are some cupcakes I've made:

These are gluten free Devil's Food with coconut, filled with raspberry filling,

topped with chocolate frosting and sprinkled with coconut flakes

And these are gluten free chocolate cayenne, frosted with cherry frosting, 

and topped with chopped cashews and toasted coconuts
