I made these cupcakes for an 'Australia's biggest morning tea' that we ended up postponing to the following week due to my sister having a baby! So these ended up being eaten and enjoyed by all the young adults at church. I loved making these and practicing my piping technique. To be honest it was not as easy as I expected. As you can see some were turned into butterfly cakes. You may think that was on purpose but the majority of the time, it was to cover over my bad piping abilities. I think the trick is in the consistency of the butter cream. It needs to be perfect. I over beat it I think. It ended up separating so I had to add more icing sugar to try and fix it! It was fixable, however not perfect. Make sure you only beat the butter cream a little and don't get carried away like I did.
Here is one I made for my man. Even though he didn't notice the love heart that I carefully and painstakingly mastered after several attempts, he noticed the coconut flavour at least. hehe. This was my favourite one to make as it was made with love. awwww <3
