  1. I followed the cupcake recipe to a T, and wound up with burned bottoms of cupcakes. I didn't have time to make a second batch, but I would suggest to try the mix's baking time and heat. For the icing, I used thawed coolwhip rather than the whipped icing, but still added the teaspoons of rhum and coconut flavours.
     
  2. loved this used coconut milk instead of water and coconut rum instead of extracts not much im a light weight
     
  3. Yummy! I did leave out the rum extract. Made for Please Review My Recipe.
     
  4. I used pineaplle tidbits I crushed in my food chopper. Next time I will make sure I have the crushed since I don't think there was enough pineapple. I could not find any of the extracts where I live UGH so had to add a splash of rum to the batter and frostng. I also toasted the coconut and added about 1/4 cup to the frosting and the rest for the top . I could not figure out why the frosting was so sweet then realized I had grabbed the WRONG can and had used a cream cheese frosting. LOL With all the subbed and a major goof these are moist and YUMMMY ( a bit to sweet but that was my fault LOL) Will make again and hopefully find the extract needed and use the correct frosting.
