***I made my own frosting with:

3 cubes butter

2 tbsp of half and half

3/4 c. coconut

1 t. rum extract

1 t. coconut extract

{I actually added a little extra of both extracts in the frosting! They were very moist cupcakes...yummy frosting! If you don't like coconut...I don't know what to say!!!}
