Triple Citrus Poppy Seed Cake (and a review!)

Quick Breads are cute. Quick Breads in polka-dotted, cubed baking cups? Waaaay, way cuter. (Think: 12 fluffy puppies snuggled in a blanket cute) I was super excited to get a package on my doorstep a few days ago.

Fluffy Coconut Cake with Toasted Coconut Glaze

You know, sometimes the best things in life aren’t the flashiest or the fanciest. Take this Coconut Cake, for example.
