Neapolitan Cupcakes from Baked Perfection

What is with my fascination with neapolitan? Three delicious flavors that go together perfectly! I've seen several combination of Neapolitan cupcakes, but I think this is my favorite (probably because it's the easiest).

Baked Perfection posted a recipe for Neapolitan Cupcakes, which uses a chocolate cake mix as the base for the cupcakes. Some recipes use several flavors of cake layered or swirled together. Baked Perfection adds the strawberry and vanilla flavors in the frosting by swirling them together. Easy is always my game. You can find the full recipe here.

I truly believe the phrase "an apple a day keeps the doctor away." I eat an apple every day and almost never get sick (knock on wood). My all-time favorite apples are Pink Ladies. It's almost like eating candy, they are that sweet. So when I saw this blog post title for Pink Lady Cupcakes on A Cozy Kitchen, I excitedly assumed this was a recipe for cupcakes using Pink Lady apples. Wrong.

Although that's not the case, I'm still just as excited for these Strawberry Coconut Cream Cheese Cupcakes, aka: Pink Lady Cupcakes. They look so beautiful, fluffy, and girly.

A Cozy Kitchen used the recipes from Smitten Kitchen for Pink Lady Cake and cream cheese frosting, but adds the touch of coconut herself. These Pink Lady Cupcakes look divine!
