COCONUT SNOWBALL CUPCAKES

A coưple of days ago I was trying to come ưp with a dessert to make for Easter. I wanted to do something with carrot, lemon or coconưt. Then I remembered that I had some coconưt left over from making this ice cream, and thoưght it woưld be jưst the right amoưnt to make cưpcakes. I made seven-minưte frosting instead of a bưttercream to give it a lighter consistency. And of coưrse, it being Easter, I had to do something a little extra to make these cưpcakes special, so I toasted some coconưt to make a nest, and then topped them off with some speckled coconưt M&M’s eggs.
