These banana cupcakes have a gooey caramel pecan center and can be topped two different ways: 1. with crunchy toasted coconut or 2. with a chocolate cream cheese frosting. You can’t go wrong with either one.

Fruitcake Baklava
I joined Daring Bakers. If you haven’t heard of Daring Bakers, it’s an online baking club where the members bake a new recipe each month. This month is baklava.

Lime and coconut bars could make for a tasty and fun Saint Patrick’s Day treat.
