I like all of your favorites, but cream cheese with a little orange added in would add a little zing!. The recipe follows!.
Orange Cream Cheese Icing
3oz!. cream cheese, softened
2 tbs!. butter, softened
1 tsp!. orange zest
2 tbs fresh orange juice
2 1/2 cups confectioners sugar
Beat cream cheese, butter, orange zest and orange juice together until smooth then beat in confectioners sugar!.
Just thought of something else!. After you ice your cupcakes with the orange cream cheese icing what about sprinkling them with coconut!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

i like the cream cheese!. although you could do a white frosting and toast the coconut in the oven for a few minutes and sprinkle on top of the frosting!. good luck and enjoy your cupcakesWww@FoodAQ@Com
Vanilla is too boring, so I wouldn't use it!.
Coconut - some people don't like to eat coconut!.
Some people don't like butter cream,
so I would choose cream cheese!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
