I know, I know. I have been MIA for the past two months–and the only two new recipes that I have been able to make have been the cupcakes for the Martha Stewart’s Cupcakes Club. Jennifer from Cinema Cupcakes chose Coconut Cupcakes on pages 28-29 for January. I was glad to try this recipe since I have been wanting to make coconut cupcakes for a while now. I wasn’t able to find unsweetened coconut flakes, so I gave up and decided to just use all sweetened flakes since I was already running late on posting this recipe.

These cupcakes were actually delicious without frosting; although my husband still wanted the frosting on top anyways. I decided to skip the 7-minute frosting and instead used Martha’s fluffy vanilla frosting, which was excellent. Thanks for the great selection.
