Deluxe Coconut Cupcakes
Deluxe coconut cupcakes topped with buttercream cheese frosting and toasted shredded coconut.
I was trying to think of desserts for Easter and I kept seeing all these cute recipes with coconut as little birds nests. So I decided that I was going to make a Coconut cupcake and sprinkle Cadbury eggs on top and this would be my bird’s nest.
By the time I was finished I couldn’t put an egg on top of one of these cupcakes, they looked too delicious! Oh, by the way, they are super delicious!
