Hi all you MBR readers!! I’m super excited to be here. Especially since Miss Hil and I are actually real life friends! I love it when I’m real life friends with my blogger friends too 🙂

My name is Ashton and I blog over at Something Swanky. I pretty much live, breathe, and blog desserts. I host a weekly dessert link party, post lost of recipes, and create themed dessert recipe collections! I’d love for you to swing by when you get the chance.

But, for today, I’m bringing a little “Something Swanky” to YOU right here on My Blog Review 🙂

Last month I auctioned off a Cupcake of the Month Club package for my husband’s school. Each month, I’ll bake and a deliver a dozen cupcakes of the winner’s choice right to her door! Fun, right?

This month she wanted German Chocolate Cupcakes. I’d never made a from-scratch German Chocolate Coconut Pecan Frosting before, and I was super impressed with how easy the recipe is and how great it tastes!

Directions:

1. Over medium heat, whisk together the milk, sugar, butter, and egg yolks in a medium saucepan. Whisk constantly until smooth, thick, and golden brown.

Thanks again to Hilary for inviting me on to My Blog Review! It’s been a pleasure 🙂 And I hope to see all of you at Something Swanky sometime soon!
