QUICKIE COCONUT CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 (12 portion) muffin tins with paper cupcake liners and set aside.
• In a bowl, using an electric mixer, mix the cake mix, water, oil, eggs, and coconut extract on medium speed until moistened and smooth. Stir in the chopped coconut. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin tins. The batter will nearly fill each liner to the top. Bake until the muffins spring back when lightly touched, or a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 15 to 18 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool.
• When cool, put the icing out with spoons or small spatulas along with bowls of the cupcake toppings for the kids to decorate their own cupcakes.
• In the bowl of a large electric mixer, using the paddle attachment, whip the butter on high speed until very soft. Meanwhile, place a large sheet of parchment paper on a work surface. Using a large sifter, sift a pound of confectioners' sugar onto the parchment. This helps prevent clumping, and makes the mixing easier. Lower the speed of the mixer, and, using the parchment as a funnel, pour the sugar into the bowl and mix slowly until combined. Add the milk and mix until combined. Sift the second pound of sugar onto the parchment sheet. Again at low speed, add the sugar and mix well. Once combined, sift the remaining sugar and add it with the vanilla and mix. Once it is combined, turn the mixer speed up and beat the icing until very light and fluffy, about 3 to 4 minutes.
• If desired, divide the icing into smaller batches and color with food coloring.
• Spread the icing on cooled cupcakes while at room temperature. Refrigerate any leftover icing, but be sure to let it come back to room temperature before using. Re-whip the icing to make it fluffy again.

COCONUT CHERRY CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180Celsius/350Fahrenheit/Gas Mark 4, and lay out your bun cases in a bun tray. If you don't have a bun tray (like me), then just double layer the bun cases on a tray.
• Add caster sugar and 115g butter in a bowl and whisk together. When light and fluffy add 2 tbsp of milk, then gradually beat in the eggs. Don't worry too much if it curdles! Sift in the baking powder and flour and fold in gently. I didn't use baking powder so that's why it is optional. Then fold in the coconut.
• Then you want to cut up 115g of glace/maraschino/fresh cherries into quarters and fold into the mixture (actually save a few to put on the tops once you've spooned it all into the bun cases and they tend to sink when in the oven).
• Now spoon the mixture into the bun cases and add the remaining cut up cherries to the tops, then whack them in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until firm and golden. Then leave to cool on a wire rack.
• Add the remaining 55g of butter and the icing sugar together, don't mix too fast of the icing sugar goes everywhere! Then add in 1tbsp of milk to make it nice and fluffy. Once the buns are chilled, add the topping with a piping bag (again, I don't have one of these so just used a spoon). Then put a whole cherry on the tops of each one, then voila! Yummy Cherry and Coconut cupcakes :-)
