(remember to keep some coconut aside) In a smaller bowl, whisk together eggs, milk & butter. Make a well in the centre of dry ingredients and pour in egg mixture. With a spoon gently stir/fold to combine. Using 2 tablespoons neatly portion mix into wrappers. Bake for 15-20 mins, or until a skewer comes out clean. Let cupcakes cool completely prior to frosting and decorating. method for icing Place butter & cream cheese in the microwave together for 30 seconds so soft but not melted.
