Rum Coconut Cupcakes

I don't fancy myself much of a cupcake decorator, but I was pretty darn pleased with how these turned out. My inspiration came from Pinterest some weeks ago. Don't ask me where it was pinned from because I haven't the foggiest idea. These cupcakes would be a cute Easter dessert if you don't want to make a whole coconut cake.

Speaking of Easter, it's tomorrow. If you need a last-minute dish idea, how about Brie Bites for an appetizer? Or try Deviled Egg Salad for something a little different but just as scrumptious as the classic. Pineapple Souffle makes a lovely side dish for ham, as does Green Bean Casserole.

The only thing making me feel like a real person right now is this pumpkin bread:
