I need a cupcake recipe for a cupcake contest. Help!

I've always had success with Ina Garten's coconut cupcakes. Visually they are a show stopper and delicious too. http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/coconut-cupcakes-recipe/index.html I have also used that icing for red velvet cup cakes. http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/throwdown-with-bobby-flay/red-velvet-cupcakes-recipe/index.html

These are wonderful, and not difficult to make, by sdebrango:
