Notes

Ensure your butter is softened for a fluffy texture. You can substitute mango puree with canned mango or other fruit purees. For storage, keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Unfilled cupcakes can be frozen for a month. Be patient and let the cupcakes cool completely before filling to maintain the decoration's stability. Enjoy your tropical treat!
