Iced. Cupcakes.

I took a little drive by the Connecticut River this morning and came across some serious icicles on some serious rocks.

Back at home, I began preparing some Coconut Lime cupcakes to take to the "Tropical Superbowl" party that we were invited to this evening. I used this cupcake, and topped it with this icing. Observe.
