ICING
1 container (or more!) BC whipped vanilla frosting (I used Duncan Hines AND stirred into it a teaspoon of bottled lemon juice and a few drops of apricot brandy)
Shredded Coconut (I used Baker's and toasted it first)
Frost cupcakes lavishly, dip into coconut, pour a cuppa, find a campfire and enjoy!
