Food Friday: Orange Coconut Cupcakes

Fridays bring the weekend.  And for me, the weekends bring a long run in my half marathon training plan.  Because of the long runs, I usually treat myself to something I wouldn’t normally have in the calorie bank to eat.  Most of the time it is something homemade, baked and over the top.  But I can’t lie, once in a while it is Five Guys.

This weekend, it is Orange Coconut Cupcakes.  Let me be clear.  I am not a fan of hot fruit with the exception of anything apple.  And I don’t particularly like white chocolate.  But something about these cupcakes just works.  With the white chocolate chips and cut up pieces of mandarin oranges.  I cheat on the frosting and use buttercream out of a can.  But who cares.

Since I am seeing my good friend on Saturday for the W-S Open tennis tournament, she will score a bunch of these for her and her family.

Enjoy!
