Snowball Cupcakes

Today I am on my way down to Washington DC with my friend Kellie, for the IACP Conference!  I’m very excited to get away for a couple days, meet some new peeps, and hopefully learn a lot.  But I am especially excited because, when I get back home, my kitchen will have undergone what I am hoping will be an incredible transformation!

After nearly 15 years of living with brown stained cabinetry, I’ve finally decided to go light and bright!  It occurred to me slowly, after I noticed myself pinning the same white kitchen with white subway tile backsplash, over and over again, that hello!  This is my kinda kitchen!  My kitchen should look like this!  White on the uppers, gray on the lowers (my husband and kids are suuuuper hard on stuff so hopefully it will show dirt/scuffs less), and brushed brass hardware.  I can’t wait to get home on Sunday night and walk into a (sorta) brand new kitchen!

But for now I’m so happy to share these adorable cupcakes with you!

Ingredients

• 1 batch Simply Perfect Chocolate Cupcakes
• 2 cups sweetened flaked coconut, divided
• gel paste icing colors in Rose Pink, Lemon Yellow, and Royal Blue
• 2 1/4 cups granulated sugar, divided
• 1 cup light corn syrup
• 1/2 cup water
• 6 egg whites
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Bake and cool the cupcakes, according to the recipe.
2. Divide the coconut into 4 equal portions.  Set aside 1 portion to remain white.  Place the other 3 portions into small zip-top bags, and add a drop of gel paste food coloring (Rose Pink, Lemon Yellow, and Royal Blue) to each.  Zip the bags and shake/scrunch to disperse the color evenly throughout the coconut.  Set aside.
