Aphrodesi’hacks’

- Add coconut frosting to the cupcakes while they are warm
- Stay close to cupcakes while broiling- they brown quickly and could burn quickly

These ShuttheF***up Cakes are decadent! The cake is not sweet but rich and chocolatey! The topping is just the right mix of sweet and coconut and nuts. I used pecans and didn’t inject them but they were delicious just the same. My first scratch cupcake – easy recipe! Next time I will try the infused version!
These Kailua cupcakes with alcohol pipettes were delicious! I loved then sweet coconut pecan frosting, and the Kailua in the chocolate cupcakes just took it over the top!
Nunna inspired… so delish!!
