I wanted to use desiccated coconut to create the look of snow on cupcakes for Christmas. So, I decided to make some coconut cupcakes. These coconut cupcakes are light, fluffy and moist with a delicious coconut flavour.  To make it feel like Christmas, I made some Christmas trees using royal icing, chocolate sticks and sprinkles of course. These cupcakes are a fun idea and an easy bake for Christmas.  I would recommend that if you wanted to add the Christmas tree toppers that you make them the day before so the royal icing dries completely.  Otherwise the royal icing trees may break if not fully dried.
