Coconut Cupcakes

Cookie orders have died down a little. No complaints though because the break is nice AND I am able to focus on other priorities, like finishing an unfinished house project from 2 1/2 years ago (no joke!) and maybe establishing a work out routine (it is too soon to tell where this will go).

This weekend, I FINALLY got around to making Barefoot Contessa's Coconut Cupcakes and they are fabulous!!!!. Unfortunately, batch of frosting made enough to ice 100 cupcakes and have quite a bit left. Any ideas of what I could use the remaining frosting on??? I hate to waste it....
I used the new C&B liners. Too bad the batter had so much butter that it seeped through and distorted the colors on the liners!!!
This morning we took the girls to the monthly Dachshund Meet Up and Elliot thoroughly enjoyed the water. Before the pool was set up she kept making the water bowl her personal pool.
Not the best shot...but all I could get.

Mmm.. those look good! The coconut is fresh, I can't find one like that in Cancun, and have to make my own or use a super dry one... your cupcake liners are nice... I've seen cupcakes baked in regular white cupcake liners, and then placed in the decorated liner... here's an example http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3270/2702863254_20c4a1963d.jpg

I say, just eat it with a spoon! ;)

That is one of my favorite cupcake recipes of all time!

I have made those cupcakes before and I even wrote a note in my cookbook about the amount of frosting it made...I ended up freezing it, but they are a great cupcake!!

I was going to suggest that you freeze the remaining frosting. You can defrost it, re beat it and use it the next time you make the cupcakes.
I'm working on a coconut cc recipe next week. I've got an excess of coconut right now!!
The pups look adorable, especially in the water bowl!!
