Steps:

Coconut Frosting
sticks of butter, softened (1 cup)
2/3 cups powdered sugar + more if needed
tablespoon vanilla extract
teaspoon of coconut extract (if you don't have this, no big deal)
2 tablespoons of lite coconut milk
2 cup shredded, sweetened coconut
2 cup shredded coconut, toasted
Cream butter in the bowl of an electric mixture until completely smooth and creamy. With the mixer on low speed, add in powdered sugar slowly. Gradually increase mixer speed and add vanilla and coconut extracts, then beat for 2-3 minutes, scraping down sides and bottom of the bowl. Continue to whip for another 4-5 minutes, continuously scrapping. If frosting is too thick, add coconut milk 1 teaspoon at a time until desired consistency is reached If it's too thin, add powdered sugar gradually until it thickens. Fold in shredded coconut and mix until just combined. Frost cupcakes, then sprinkle toasted coconut on top.
Mocha Coconut Drizzle
3 cup powdered sugar
teaspoon instant coffee powder
teaspoons dark cocoa powder
2 teaspoons coconut milk
Combine dry ingredients in a bowl, then add in one teaspoon of coconut milk. Really mix to combine, as you want it to be glaze-like and easy to drizzle. If too thick, add a drop of coconut milk and stir again. If it accidentally gets too thin, just add a bit more powdered sugar and mix.
