Maddy your coconut icing looks like packed fairy floss and I was wondering how you got the icing to sit so nicely on the cupcakes. ;)

Adding extra coconut to make it firmer, and then I piped it on with a big open star nozzle (you know the cheap plastic ones from the supermarket).

We've been making this recipe for a while, it's yummy thanks Johnro.
This morning, I started making it and realised I have only half of the ingredients, so my subs were:
250 sour cream replaced by about 150g cream, 70g natural yoghurt and 60g strawberry yoghurt (cleaning out containers!)
80g milk replaced by 50g milk
No coconut
coconut essence replaced by 1t vanilla paste.

And yet it worked :D

I'm thinking to make this for a BBQ this weekend - I've got some frozen butter icing left over from my daughter's birthday so would like to use this instead of the coconut icing. It's my daughter's first birthday so am wanting something simple to stick a candle on.

I don't have time to stuff up  :-[ which I often do - any thing to consider? Is the cake too moist/crumbly to ice with butter icing?

Thanks in advance!

I did a test run as I wanted to make it into a lemon and coconut cake and it was BEAUTIFUL and will ice perfectly - that is, if the butter icing defrosts ok! I played around with the quantities a bit which unusually for me worked  ;D

Will def. be making this cake again.

Thanks for the inspiration.

Johnro this is in the oven now. Going to use lemon juice instead of pink food coloring as DS can't have food coloring.
