Testing Coconut Cupcakes

I have been trying to get the right flavor on the almond, coconut and chocolate ganache flavor cake.  I might have found it, but I am not sure how I like how it "looks".  Must work on that.

The cupcake with white frosting is coconut white cake with a dollup of dark chocolate ganache in the center, with a coconut vanilla buttercream frosting.  This has a stronger coconut flavor, plus coconut in the frosting.  The "surprise" center of dark chocolate is a nice contrast to the sweet coconut vanilla cake and frosting.

The cupcake with the chocolate frosting is a coconut white cake with dark chocolate ganache as a topping.  This one has a very delicate coconut flavoring, the ganache is a strong dark chocolate.  I like it's contrast.
