Tonight I made the Barefoot Contessa Coconut Cupcakes for the first time. I haven't tasted one yet but I think they are going to get an A+ (they have 3 sticks of butter in them). I've got a dozen to take to work with me and some set aside for a sewing bee tomorrow night plus a few extras. I realized as I was starting the frosting that I didn't have a pound of cream cheese so I made half the recipe and there was plenty to frost two dozen cupcakes. So...who can tell me how many cups 1/2 of 1 1/2 pounds of powdered sugar is?!?
P.S. I love this cake plate; it's a family heirloom.

I'd like that recipe please. I love coconut. I think that would be 1 1/2 cups.
I sure am glad I work with you!
I'm going to guess in the 5-6 range. Now do I get a cupcake?
(I heart coconut and butter)
i love the cake plate, too!!!!
I believe that two pounds of powdered sugar is about 8 cups, so therefore 1 and 1/2 pounds is about 6 cups, so half of that is 3 cups. They look yummy.
I am so confused.
"A pint's a pound the world around" so the saying goes. Therefore, two cups is 16 oz is a pint which is one pound. Therefore, one and one half pounds is 24oz or 3 cups. Half of 1.5 lbs is 12oz or 1.5 cups.
Right?? I am calling you about this. Maybe Diana will know.
Yes, ma'am!! I've been wanting to make those Barefoot Contessa cupcakes. Let us know how they taste...worth it?
DEFINITELY WORTH IT!!
Those cupcakes are good, thanks for sharing!

These are de-lish. I made them yesterday for our little birthday boy and wow, they were good. I actually made them without any coconut (since I realized halfway into the recipe we didn't have any!) and they were still fabulous!
