I'm not a fan of coconut, but I really enjoyed these cupcakes. The frosting was just the right amount of sweetness and the cupcakes were moist and fluffy.

These cupcakes were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I would recommend using less sugar in the frosting.

I found these cupcakes to be a bit dry. I would recommend adding more milk or buttermilk to the batter.
