bbpawn the only coconut I could think of was almond joy Almond Joy is the nutty counterpart to Mounds. These have Mounds bars in them. And now I have the theme song from the old commercial stuck in my head ♫♪ "Sometimes you feel like a nut...sometimes you don't!" ♪♫

These cupcakes were a hit! I fixed for Christmas eve dinner. I couldn't have chosen a more elegant wonderful tasting dessert. I will be making these again probably for Valentines Day. These would make beautiful gifts.

These cupcakes are fabulous. I made them for neighbor gifts and got rave reviews. There were even some who said this is the best cupcake they have ever had. The cake is very moist and dense with a delicious surprise inside, the frosting is wonderful, and they look so pretty with the cherries on top. They were a lot of fun to make.
