These white cupcakes with coconut buttercream frosting are really quite delicious! They are so fluffy and light – the perfect go-to cupcake recipe for any occasion!
My friend Elena put together a simple white themed party last weekend in celebration of her birthday so I brought these white cupcakes to fit the theme. White just fits for a summer party, right? It is refreshing, pure, and airy when you see a table full of beautiful white food and decor.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Melt chocolate chips over low heat on the stove top stirring until melted. Pour into a small zip-lock bag and seal. With scissors, cut one of the bottom corners slightly to use as an opening to draw shapes with chocolate. Draw shapes or letters on the parchment paper lined baking sheet. Put the baking sheet in the freezer for chocolate to harden and leave there until ready to use.
