German Chocolate Cupcakes

Ever since Christmas, I've always wanted to make German Chocolate cupcakes. I had tried them in a cupcake shop in Nashville and loved it. We had a department meeting at work and I thought this would be a good testing ground for this recipe.

The base was the classic chocolate cupcake using Soma chocolatier coco powder, but the frosting was very different. The frosting was made with a mixture of coconut and pecans in a melted butter brown sugar mixture.  It turned out perfectly and the crowd loved it. I'm sure I have said this before in a previous post, but I love anything coconut. :)
