Pecan lovers have lots to cheer about with these flavorful cupcakes. I created the recipe for my best friend, Ann, who said she loved Italian cream cake but didn't want a whole cake. They have a wonderful aroma and fabulous flavor. —Tina Harrison, Prairieville, Louisiana

These are really good, although we found them a bit too sweet for our taste. Will make again and try cutting back on the sugar and use unsweetened coconut next time. Overall - a great cupcake!

I made these for a church pot luck. I ran out of time and did not have time to frost them with the recipe given so i just substituted an almond flavored powdered sugar drizzle. They were a hit and all but a couple were eaten. Everyone raved about how good they tasted. While i liked them, The recipe was not a 1,2,3 step recipe. Also, you have to fill the cupcake liner up almost all of the way. I only filled up the liner half way for the first batch and that batch was not enought (should have read the directions a little better). I did toast the coconut as suggested by another reader. I will make these again, with more time so i can make the frosting also.
