Sweet 16s are such special milestone birthdays. My cousin turned 16 last week and I had the honor of making her birthday cake.
Her favorite cake/frosting combo is vanilla with vanilla. I used cornflower blue and violet food colorings to achieve this gorgeous whimsical color. A rounded cake scraper helped me with this “spackle” frosting effect. For decorations, I used edible pearls, gold and silver dust. The star of the show were these wafer paper butterflies. They were realistic and super easy to work with. I bought them from Amazon.
Cakes are always a labor of love but so rewarding. There’s nothing better than being able to brighten someone’s day with some good dessert. 🙂 Here’s the inside.
I’ll be baking a ton of cookies for the Sweet 16 party this weekend in keeping with the butterfly theme. Stay tuned!

I truly love eating vegan desserts so you may be wondering how on Earth that is possible.
As odd as it may sound, I’ve simply never enjoy the strong scent and flavor of coconut, so I try to work around it.
In recipes that call for coconut oil, I tend to use refined to minimize the coconut flavor. I tend to avoid coconut flour.
But even I was pleasantly surprised that I enjoyed these muffins. The flavor of coconut is more on the subtle side but in my opinion, the game changer here is the chocolate. It makes everything better, even coconut.
Dark cocoa powder enhances all my favorite chocolate recipes, making them all the more rich and decadent.
These muffins are super easy to whip up. Grab two bowls and a muffin pan and let’s get started!
Whisk together your sugar and oil. Add in your remaining wet ingredients. Whisk away! It will look silky and luscious. The yogurt adds a lovely texture to the muffins.
Afterwards, combine the dry ingredients in a separate bowl. Next, stir into the wet batter.
Finally, fill those muffin liners, sprinkle with chocolate chunks and pop the pan in the oven. Don’t fret if your batter is thick. This recipe would make a great loaf, too!
15 minutes later, you’ll be met with chewy, soft, chocolatey muffins with a smooth coconut flavor throughout.
Allow to cool completely or enjoy while warm. Personally, I prefer a more gooey chocolate bite!
Enjoy!
