I had some trouble getting the cupcakes to rise properly. I think I might have overmixed the batter.

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

I'm not a big fan of coconut, but these cupcakes were still really good. The chocolate cake was moist and flavorful, and the frosting was light and fluffy.
