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.

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.

These are wonderful little cupcakes. I am not a cake baker...but do enjoy making things with cake mixes. And this is one that will be made again and again. Thank you for sharing.
