Paradise Pina Colada Cupcakes

Lemon cupcakes are a perfect match for homemade coconut buttercream. If you use coconut extract, be careful to slowly add the extract. You do not want your buttercream to taste like a bottle of tanning oil.

Lemon zest is a baker's best friend when baking lemon cupcakes, so save some from when your mixing your batter to sprinkle on top with some toasted coconut!
