Coconut Cupcakes

A few months ago I found a coconut cake mix, at the store, along with the coconut frosting.
I told my friend, who LOVES coconut and tries everything coconut at least once, about it and when she went to the store to get it,
they didn't have it.
So I went to see if they still had it at the store where I live and it was gone.
Like it never existed.
So, I got to thinking that I needed to try my own hand at coconut cup cakes.
WOW!
They turned out fantastic!

Also, my family makes a white cake, with green frosting and green colored coconut flakes, every year for our Easter picnic. On each piece we place 3 candy eggs. It is so fun and the kids love it. So I'm going to add a picture of that in case you would like to try it. It's such a fun tradition.
