Strawberry-Coconut Cupcakes

Man-O-Man these cupcakes are good! So moist and delicious! Definatly one of my favorites for sure. My mom and I made these for my son’s 1st birthday bash, sisters 16th birthday, and recently for my sister-in-laws baby shower! I am definatly not a pro cupcake maker and defiantly not a pro cupcake decorater. But we all have our strengths right!? Its a work in progress for me to perfect cupcakes so its a good thing that I made 4 different kinds of cupcakes this week! Practice makes perfect right!?

1 box Duncan Heinz White Cake Mix

1 cup coconut, shredded

1 small box strawberry jell-o (reserve 1/2 teaspoon for frosting)

4 eggs

1 cup oil

1 cup strawberries, blended up (fresh or frozen works fine!)

1/2 cup milk

Mix all ingredients together, be sure to blend the strawberries in a blender before mixing them in.

8 ounces cream cheese

1/2 teaspoon strawberry Jell-O

1/2 cup butter, softened
