These are so adorable. They would be good for a girls party or a shower. These need to be made ahead of time as they are a bit labor-intensive.

Steps:
- Make the cupcakes:.
- Heat oven to 350°F; prepare 10 large size muffin tins. I suggest not using paper liners for this. If you do you will have to remove them before frosting.
- Beat butter and sugar in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy, about five minutes.
- Beat in eggs, one at a time.
- Beat well.
- Sift flour with baking powder and soda.
- Add 1/4 of the flour mixture to the butter mixture, then add vanilla and 1/3 of the buttermilk.
- Repeat, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Scrap well after each addition.
- Fold in coconut.
- Pour batter into muffin cups. Bake about 18-20 minutes until toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool in tins about 5 minutes. Remove and cool completely. If you used paper liners, remove the liners.
- Make the frosting:.
- Combine butter, cream cheese, vanilla and sugar in a large bowl and beat until smooth and spreadable. Add a drop of food coloring and blend to make a light pink frosting.
- To make the snowballs:.
- When cupcakes are cool, freeze them on parchment paper about 20 minutes.
- Spread a thick, even layer of frosting all over each cupcake, sides and bottom too.
- Freeze on parchment again for at least 30 minutes, up to 1 day.
- Spread a second, thick, even layer of frosting all over them.
- Sprinkle generously with coconut, about 1/4 cup per snowball.
