1/2 tsp vanilla essence
2 eggs

1 tsp baking powder
3/4 cup coconut flakes
270ml can coconut cream
pearl sprinkles, to serve

100g white chocolate, melted

For the chocolate hearts, line a baking tray with baking paper. Dip the back of a teaspoon in the melted chocolate and gently drag the spoon across the paper to create a teardrop shape. Dip the spoon in chocolate again and repeat next to this, making sure the teardrops join at the tip to create a rustic heart shape. Repeat to make 24 hearts. Allow to set. To make the buttercream, beat the butter until pale and creamy. Gradually add icing sugar and milk, in alternating batches, beating until combined. Divide buttercream between 2 bowls. Add a few drops of pink food colouring to 1 bowl. Stir to combine. Add a few of drops of orange food colouring to the other bowl. Stir to combine.
Spoon the pink icing down one side of a piping bag fitted with a nozzle. Spoon the orange icing down the other side of the piping bag. Pipe the icing onto the cooled cupcakes. Scatter the pearl sprinkles over the top and decorate with chocolate hearts.
