Since when did this turn into a trillion recipes a week blog? That is what happens when my mind isn’t consumed by running 23 hours of the day.
As everyone else was getting dinner ready my mind was focused on what to make for dessert because obviously that is more important than silly dinner.
I looked around the fridge and pantry and found coconut milk and sweetened coconut flakes. Tears built up in my eyes because I knew that those were the two ingredients that aren’t ‘normal pantry items’ that are necessary for my favorite cupcakes.
Martha Stewart’s website to the rescue….I used this RECIPE to make my heavenly creation……
Martha did make a mistake, but I will forgive her. She doesn’t include adding TOASTED cocunut on top of her cupcakes. It is A MUST if you ever make these!
These earned me +4356 daughter-in-law points, which I am really needing after living with them for 3 weeks so far.
The frosting is an egg white, sugar and corn syrup mixture and it is SUPER light and fluffy…which makes it totally okay to have the same amount of frosting as cake on these babies.
I do not recommend inhaling as you bite into the cupcake……frosting in the nose burns a little.
And if that doesn’t put you in a sugar coma, I think these might. I present to you dinner. A family friend gave us this pancake recipe and said it was the best in the whole wide world so we decided to make it for dinner (along with scrambled eggs….on a SEPARATE ketchup filled plate).
I topped mine with strawberries, granola, syrup and pb on the side to dip them into.
BIlly made a mighty pancake tower with pb in between each layer.
I keep telling Billy he needs to start sending out his portfolio to become a hand model, but he won’t do it. Something about he doesn’t want to become too famous for me.
You can find the recipe for the pancakes HERE on my recipe page.

What is your absolute, number 1, favoritest, bestest cupcake flavor EVER!?!
-Coconut really is my number one. I need to try making a chocolate base with coconut frosting next:)
What was your Sunday night dinner?
Have you ever been to Disneyland!?!? Disneyworld?!?! What is your favorite ride?
-YES and I really do love it. We might be going with my sis and her kids this week if we can get a good discount from a friend….cross your fingers. I NEED to spend my day in long lines with trillions of people and pay $4 for a pickle because nothing will be better than seeing my neices and nephew with ginormous smiles on their faces while riding dumbo!
Indiana Jones is my favorite ride!

Chocolate and coconut together have to be my favorite cupcake flavor!!! I have never been to Disneyland but I’ve been to Disney World and of course I love it! My favorite ride is Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster. I had to trick Mike to get on it because he doesn’t like going upside down so I may have fibbed and told him it didn’t…when, in fact, it does about 3 times and its super fast. 0-60 mph in like 2.8 seconds. Ha, his face was priceless when he realized what he was about to get on. Muahaha I am sneaky.
Liv @ The Salty n' Sweet
Beautiful cupcakes!!! And dinner :) I love coconut anything, so I think I’d end up with some frosting up my nose too.
And YES, PB tower pancakes ROCK!
On Sunday night, I ate thai food from the restaurant where I work lol.
The last time I went to Disney World was when I was in high school. I loved Splash Mountain :)
Niki (Life's a Payne)
I love COCONUT! I put it in my oatmeal, smoothies, and coconut flavour in my coffees! I AM MAKING THOSE CUPCAKES! (I got a bit over excited there)!
Sunday night dinner was homemade pizza! Yum yum!
AND I have never been to Disneyland/world! I begged as a child and my wish never came true. I guess Canada is a bit too far away to make it an affordable vacay. BUT… the boy’s parents have a condo in Florida so we are going to make a trip soon! WOOO HOOO! Never too late to discover Disneyland!
Tina @ Faith Fitness Fun
As much frosting as cake is a necessity I say! And I can’t believe Martha didn’t top them with toasted coconut. Seems like such a Martha thing to do. Clearly the Janae thing wins.
Lindsey
I have to go with chocolate peanut butter as my favorite cupcake flavor.
Supper was BBQ’d chicken, corn on the cob, grilled veggies and dessert was a Kool Aid freezie!
I went to Disneyland about 14 years ago BUT we are going there this September to run the half marathon I cannot wait! I love the Indiana Jones ride too!
Jacqueline
how did you manage to combine my three favorite things into one blog post!? coconut anything, frosted anything, and of course hand modeling.
i have to tell you, your mom is in my ward (shes my mom in laws’ visiting teacher, and she was telling us about your blog so i checked it out and fell in love since you like food as much as i do) (the running part i’m still working on…)
Lizzy @ runbakerace
I love Tower of Terror, favorite ride! Splash Mountain is a goodie too but it was closed when I was at Disney in January :( Very sad. I love just a plain ole vanilla cupcake, boring but delicious.
Stephanie @ Vegetarian Bakeaholic
Ketchup on your eggs?! That makes me so happy. The husband thinks I’m the weirdest person in the world for that habit…but it’s so freakin good!
and I’m a sucker for strawberry cupcakes!
kari @ Running Ricig
Billy’s family sure knows how to eat/cook! I’m jealous!
My favorite cupcakes are chocolate raspberry. My SIL makes them and they are AMAZING.
We had pizza and banana bread muffins for dinner last night :)
Lisa @ Sunny Seed Stories
I am totally in favorite of a 1:1 ratio between icing and cake. Also, I am loving Billy’s pancake toward idea–awesome peanut butter maximization.
So exciting about Disneyland!! I just went to Disneyworld, and it was magical, of course. My favorite ride is Expedition Everest (don’t know if they have that one in Land), but my close second favorite is SOARIN’ and I know they have that one!
emily
o.m.yum! coconut cupcakes are my favorite. hands down. (the recipe i use is on my blog too). my family loves breakfast for dinner. we don’t do it often enough. i just love sunday dinner, no matter what it is. last night we had “taco chili” that i made in the slow cooker. yum-o! and yes, i’ve been to disneyland a few times but never disney world. husband and i are dying to take our kids back. i hope sooner than later. have fun!
Samantha @ Health, Happiness & Skinny Jeans
Your panakes look delicious. I love mine with fruit, a little syrup and a spoonful of honey Greek yogurt. Yum!!
Dorry
I love baking cupcakes! I think my favorite combo is red velvet and cream cheese frosting, but I also love yellow cake with chocolate frosting. So many good combos out there!
Gina @ Running to the Kitchen
Disneyworld 3x, Disneyland 1x when I was 2 and the only thing I remember was turning the knob on a candy machine dispenser without putting any money in it, and candy actually came out! It was like Christmas!
Emily@RunningPerspective
chocolate pb cupcakes = heaven in my lifee
those pancakes look SO SO GOOD! def gonna make them!
i had eggs for dinner …keeping up with the whole breakfast theme :)
and i love disney worldddddddd! its my favorite place everr! i love test track, rock n roller coaster, tower of terror, even its a small world! hahaha i am beyond obsessedd!
Gen
I love chocolate cupcakes w/ pb frosting!!! Your coconut ones look really awesome, too! :D
Alecia
I love PB on my pancakes… LOVE IT!
Laura @ Meet Virginia
Girl, you are basically Martha yourself! So many delicious looking things in one place!!!
Erin
I am with you… coconut=heaven. I even mix coconut shreds in my oatmeal some mornings. love love.
And I am a Disney-a-holic. Two of my kids have gotten wishes from Make A Wish and we got to go to Disney World, and I have been to Disneyland lots of times. And, last year I went to Disney to run the Disney marathon and in January I am going to run the Goofy challenge (half marathon on Sat., full on Sunday). Can’t wait!!
$4 pickles are good, but everyone knows the best treat at Disney is the frozen chocolate covered banana! :)
dana @ my little celebration
I LOVE basic white cupcakes with buttercream frosting. But my second favorite is chocolate peanut butter. Your coconut ones look AMAZING though!!
Diana
Vanilla cupcakes from Babycakes are DA BOMB – there’s a location in LA, you totally have to go! They’re vegan and sweetened with agave rather than sugar…did someone say “health food”??
Sunday night dinner was 2 pounds of guac followed by Trader Joe’s indian food with my two besties from high school – so amazing that all 3 of us are in NYC right now!!
I am with you, I love, love, love rollercoasters and I don’t care if theme parks are cheesy and slightly grimy, I will always want to go to one.
TheHungeredOne @ MovingandMunching
Those cupcakes look yummy :) Chocolate is my favorite flavor!
Disneyland is so super fun. Make sure you ask the ride attendant in the projection room of Indiana Jones (where they show the video of Sala talking about the Temple) about the “Hidden Eeyore”. It’s an old parking lot sign that they have tucked away in that room. They’ll shine a flashlight on it and show you. :)
Ooh and by Adventureland there is a Dole pineapple stand (it’s next to the Tiki Room) and it has super amazing pineapple ice cream treats. They’re so good!
Between this comment and the email I sent I feel like I should become a tour guide or travel agent lolol
corey @ Learning Patience
Those cupcakes look great— Our Sunday night dinner rocked– I found fresh cilantro so OF COURSE we had to do Mexican Night — Tacos, Baked Mexican Brown Rice, Strawberry Margaritas & Cilantro Corn!! YUMMY
Adrienne S
Carrott Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting!
Sunday dinner was fruit protein smoothies. I know..I went all out for Sunday dinner:) My kids were impressed.
Jordan
HOLY DELICIOUS CUPCAKES! i must make these asap
Christine @ BookishlyB
I love the Black and White cupcakes from Sprinkles (while you’re down here you should go- it’s near Fashion Island in Newport… legendary). And… I hate Disneyland. I know, I know. I think it’s because I live down here and get annoyed by all the hype. I hate the lines, how crowded it is, and the prices. I totally understand the appeal for out-of-towners, though.
Grace
I love s’mores cupcakes! I really love any cupcake with lots of elements like filling and crust but s’mores always is a fav! I had a lame dinner last night-salad, sweet potato fries, grapes, a chicken veggie patty that I threw away since it was yucky, then I ate some bbq chips-you know for the protein I missed in the veggie patty? I love love love Disney World! Since I live in Orlando we have seasonal passes and it’s great! I really want to visit Disneyland though! I’ve also been to Disney Paris but it was before my blogging days so I don’t have very many pictures:(
Alyssa @ Life of bLyss
Sunday night dinner? WILD mushroom pizza. I swear, truffle oil is the BEST pizza topping.
Rachelle
You make me proud Janae! Those cupcakes look delicious and I must agree that coconut cupcakes trump all other.
Sunday night dinner was a big ole taco salad at the parentals with banana bread cookies for dessert! Love Sunday dinner.
I hope you get to go to Disneyland! Love that place. :)
Barefeet In The Kitchen
Those cupcakes look amazing. Dark chocolate and coconut are my favorite flavors for just about anything.
Sarah OUaL
AAHHHHHH I think Billy & B have the same wedding band! See, I just KNEW we were meant to be eternal forever bff’s for life.
See ya later :)
Carrie@shrinkingcarriewww
Wow, those cupcakes look divine. I’m a butter yellow cake and chocolate frosting girl myself.
katieRUNSthis
My number one, MOST FAVORITE cupcake ever in the whole wide world is this flavor called the FAT ELVIS from The Kupcake Factory in New Orleans, LA. First, I am a huge Elvis fan (I even named my dog Elvis). Second, I simply CANNOT resist the banana nut cake part with peanut butter cream cheese frosting. I don’t want to even *imagine* how many calories are packed into just one of these babies, but on special occasions, I simple do not care. Fat Elvis = HEAVEN. :)
My Sunday night dinner came courtesy of my mama. She made green beans with Irish new potatoes cooked down in them and she also made stuffed bell peppers. YUM. Nothing terribly fancy but I loved it!
I have only been to Disney World when I was 8 years old. I remember LOVING the Pirates of the Caribbean ride and EPCOT Center. My mom is the world’s worst photographer so almost every picture that we have from the trip has someone’s head cut off, only half of someone’s body, is totally crooked, etc. Oh well! I got my Daisy Duke hat (complete with gigantic eyelashes) so that is all that matters! :)
Yolie @ Practising Wellness
Oh my goodness, what a sweet dinner…literally, lol! :-D Ahmazing :-)For my sunday dinner we had roast organic free range chicken, roasted potatoes and sweet potatoes, steamed green beans, at my Mum and Dad’s. It was soo much fun, especially because most of the meal was spent cracking jokes and laughing <3 love love love family time at weekends, we have been to my parents for Sunday roast two weeks in a row and I love doing it with all my heart! Hopefully it will become a tradition :-) haven't been to disney, but it sounds awesome! Please don't hate me but I've never eaten a cupcake, lol! And I'm totally not kidding! :-P Yours look lush though ;-) xyx
Tabaitha
I LOVE Coconut Cupcakes. My next favorite is Key Lime Cupcakes with a Graham Cracker Crust on the bottom.
Sunday night we celebrated my son’s 4th birthday. So we grilled hamburgers and hotdogs. I served some Chicken Pasta Salad I made the day before and Watergate Salad. For dessert we ate birthday cake.
We went to Disneyland 3 times last year. We lived only an hour and a half from it and my husband had business in Anaheim, so we took advantage of it. I loved it and learned that you have to get Fast Passes to cut in lines, which is helpful on any occassion.
ashley
Who needs a favorite?! I LOVE all cupcakes equally!
Love disneyland. Fav ride?? Space mountain! Matterhorn. Small World. Oooh and soaring over california at cali adventure.
P.s. they have a tinkerbell half there on jan 29. I’m trying to convince my Momma to run it with me!!!
Holly @ Pink Runner
Obsessed with Disney and their races!! I did the Wine & Dine Half Marathon last October and it is a night race that goes through all the parks!! I loveee Epcot and all the countries and the Impressions De France movie :)
Dana
Those cupcakes look awesome! What happened to your My Training page? I think you forgot about it!
Nicole @ Of Cookies and Carrots
I got back from Disney World last week :) I’m about to post zillions of pictures, legit put 400 up on my facebook hahaha (I took 1900 over a 10-day span… I have problems).
Your cupcakes look fabbbb
mary
oh mann… those cupcakes look SOOO heavenly!!
Cat @Breakfast to Bed
Favorite cupcake is The Bea Arthur from Robicelli’s here in NYC. It’s mocha-y.
Sunday Dinner? A whole bunch of Slovak food followed by pie.
Never been to either. :((
Lauren @ Sugar Coated SIsters
OMG I love Robicelli’s!!! I read their blog but have never been to NYC… One day I’m going to go and get a whole bunch of their cupcakes! Did you know they are opening a store front?
Cat @Breakfast to Bed
Yeah!! Its going to be great!! Matt and Allison are ridic talented.
nikki
Nom nom pancakes!!! You need to hop on the crepe bandwagon!!
Leanne (Bride to Mrs.)
I love vanilla cupcakes with cheesecake frosting *drool* :D
Sunday night dinner was hot dogs… my fiance had a craving and wasn’t having any of my pleading to eat something better. It ended up being pretty damn good though… we haven’t had hot dogs in over a year!
I’ve gone to disneyland and I’d love to go back with Tyler (my fiance) one day!
Erica
Sunday dinner – salmon, potatoes, and yummy basalmic onions from Trader Joe’s! Oh and some TJ’s ultra chocolate ice cream for dessert – HEAVEN!
Favorite D-Land ride would be Space Mountain or Small World because it reminds me of being a kid. Now having kids, I enjoy Disneyland in a entirely different way – through them! Love taking them into Bug’s Land in California Adventure. :)
Kerry @ Half Healthy, Half Nuts
Banana cupcakes all the way!!
Dinner last night – pizza. Shame.
Disney freak here!! I live in the land of Disney (World), so we’re there almost weekly just to bum around. Been to Disneyland several times as well, and I love it because it’s Disney World on a much smaller scale, which is cool. I love Indiana Jones too (we don’t have that in Florida)! And I love California Adventure!
Lauren @ Sugar Coated SIsters
Wowza you picked a tough first question! I love cupcakes so much that I started my own online cupcake business in the Bay Area with crazy cool flavors inspired by the book To Kill a Mockingbird (they are nerdy cupcakes lol) … of my 77 flavors at http://www.booradleyscupcakes.com I’d have to pick either the Take 5 Rumors and Run, Peanut Butter & Scuppernong Jelly, or the Sangria Seamstress!
Trisha
I think coconut should be it’s own food group. Delicious!!
Heather Whipple
Girl, email me if you need help with Disneyland. I’m working there in August, and I have friends working there NOW so I can see if I can do anything. Disneyland is my very own personal happiest place on earth. Being there and working for them is a dream come true. Have the GREATEST time! Please tell Mickey I say “hello!!!” My favorite ride is a toss up between Haunted Mansion and Space Mountain. ENJOY!!!!
Bethany
I lovvvvveee Disney world. My favorite ride is pirates!!!! I also love Peter pan’s flight! I’m jealous you get to go. I beg abram daily to take me, his answer is always no :( haha
Emily @ Sweating Sugar
Oh yeah, toasted is the way to go!
Tara @ texasrunnergirl.com
Now I want cupcakes… and all I have is an apple. Damn Mondays for being the beginning of the week and when I decide to “be good”. A trip to the vending machine might be in the cards.
I’m old and never been to either Disney. Feel sad for me and my kids. We’ll probably be going there sometime soon though.
Susan
I’ve been to Disney World a ton of times; it’s one of my mom’s and mine favorite places to go together. I’ve never been to Disneyland but that will change in September, when I go out to run their half marathon! I’m doing it so I can get the Coast to Coast medal (did the DW half in January). I have high expectations for a good race – I did the DW one injured/sick. I also have high expectations for the parks! And I definitely had heard that Indiana Jones was an awesome ride.
Sunday night dinner was cookie dough and cookies, followed by a salad, followed by more cookies. I think I overdid the cookies, because I woke up with a terrible headache. But my coworkers seem to love them (brought them in to work today), so that’s good.
Julia @ The Bosky Blog
COCONUT!!! I will try these! Standby!
-#1 FAN of: Strawberry cheesecake cupcakes
-Sunday dinner was brown rice, cilantro-lime rice and avocado
-I went to Disney World or maybe Landa, whichever is in Florida when I was in 3rd grade. I remember really liking the log ride that went down the steep hill….?
Annette@EnjoyYourHealthyLife
WHOA! Those are beautiful! And look reallllyyy yummy. Nicely done girlfriend!!
I think pancakes are an amazing food….good choice.
Christina @ The Athletarian
I love anything chocolate coconut but I also LOVE red velvet! Love cupcakes in general though ha.
Sunday night’s dinner was a ginormousssss salad!
Jamie aka "Sometimes Healthy" Girl
mmm the cupcake looks yummy!
My Fave Cupcake: If I went with store-bought, I just couldn’t choose, so I’ll go with what I’ve made recently. I just made a cupcake with only greek yogurt, water and strawberry cupcake mix. I topped it off with cream cheese frosting (whipped) and it was AMAZE!
Sunday Night Dinner: A salad…and cupcakes. Because I was baking for my coworkers. I had to eat the mistakes…fortunately, there were a lot!
I love Disney World! That’s why I ran in the Disney marathon. My favorite ride was the Peter Pan ride when I was 12…I confirmed it was my favorite ride when I went back to ride it as a 23 year old ;-)
Stacey
I love red velvet cupcakes!!! I make them and my hubby can eat the whole batch in 2 days!!! Thank goodness we run!!
I am a huge Disney World fan!!! We go at least twice a year and have season passes even though we live in Delaware!!! My 6 yr old has been 9 times and my 3 yr old has been 7 times and they just love it!!!! I have done Goofy’s Challange the past 3 years and I cant wait to go do it again this January.
Katelyn @ Chef Katelyn
I LOVE SPACE MOUNTAIN!!! By the way girl I gave you an award on the bloggy <3 http://www.chefkatelyn.com/oopsie-daisy
Theresa
cupcakes!!
i’m more of a cookie gal myself (i constantly have my head stuck in my martha stewart cookies cookbook) but if i had to choose a favorite cupcake itd be the CRUMBS carrot cake cupcake, nomnom!
I have only been to disneyworld once in my life when I was 17, but i loved it!
Sunday night dinner: late night Ellios with a side of sweet potato fries. super healthy ;)
Lindsey @ Cardio Pizza
that cupcake looks amazing!!!
I’m a big fan of red velvet…..holy deliciousness! :)
Sunday night I had mac n’ cheese for dinner
Haley
Have you ever had coconut butter? You would LOVE it!!
It is definitely one of my favorite nut butters, even though it isn’t one, technically ;)
I love Disneyworld! Splash mountain all the way baby!
I’ve gotten stuck up there at least 5 times. No complaining though. Who doesn’t want to be way up high in a canoe with water & singing animals surrounding you? haha I seriously love it!
<3 Haley
Sarah
Other than the coconut – those look SOO good. I’ve had frosting in my nose before – it isn’t pleasant. Especially blowing it out for a few hours. Ugh.

Liz @ Something To Chew On
My fave kind of cupcake is…any kind of cupcake. Seriously.
I wanted to live at Disneyland for the longest time. Just kickin’ it with the princesses? How great would that be?! Best ride is definitely Indiana Jones. We rode it 6 times when I went as a kid…
My parents also had their honeymoon at Disneyland! How cute is that?
Jessica
I’m boring – I like chocolate cupcakes. Plain old chocolate cupcakes. If I’m feeling really fancy, maybe chocolate AND vanilla cupcakes. I’m boring.
Have an awesome time in Disneyland!! If only I had actually taken the time to stalk you when I was in California and we had become best friends, I totally would’ve gotten you into Disneyland for freesies. Ah, the perks of being a Disney Cast Member :)
I work on the Jungle Cruise, so I could be lame and biased and say that’s my favorite ride… but honestly, one of my favorite Disney rides is in Epcot in Disney World. It’s called Spaceship Earth. It’s super slow, and the entire thing is about the history of human communication. Seriously. I like plain chocolate cupcakes and learning about history. I am the weakest link.
Amy
Favourite cupcake? Anything with frosting! Actually I like classic vanilla (Martha’s recipe too) with yummy fluffy butter and confectionary sugar frosting. Sprinkles are of course mandatory and frosting should always be pink.
I make this Martha Stewart frosting for my Mum all the time. I love the fact that she is 50+ and still gets super excited about licking the bowl :)
