Add a large spoonful of whipping cream to chocolate. Fold chocolate mixture into whipped cream.
• Assembly:
• Place chilled filling into baked pie shell and top with mousse. Decorate with toasted coconut. Serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
• Make the rum syrup. In a small saucepan heat the water, rum, coconut extract and sugar until the sugar dissolves completely. Simmer for 5 minutes then remove from heat.
• Sift together dry ingredients: cake flour, baking powder, and salt and set aside. Line and grease two 9-inch cake pans with butter then dust lightly with flour.
• In a bench-top mixer (with the paddle attachment), cream butter and sugar until pale in color and light and fluffy - about 2 to 3 minutes. Scrape down the sides with a rubber spatula then with the mixer on low add eggs 1 at a time. Mix for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the milk, coconut and vanilla extract and mix on low until combined. Gradually add the flour mixture, scraping down the sides, if necessary. Once flour is fully incorporated stop the mixer.
• Divide batter evenly amongst the 2 cake pans and bake in the center of the oven for 40 to 50 minutes until a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean. When done, transfer cakes to wire racks and allow to cool completely.
• Remove paper lining then carefully cut each cake in half horizontally using a bread knife. Remove the domed top off 1 of the halves so you have 3 flat disks and 1 domed disk (this will be the top layer).
• Assemble the cake directly on your platter by layering 1 of the disks on the plate as a base. Using a pastry brush, wet the layer evenly with the rum syrup then spread with a 1/2-inch of coconut cream. Repeat this process of wetting and spreading until you reach the 4th top layer which will be the domed disk. Place on top and lightly wet the entire cake with remaining rum mixture. Cover the rest of the cake with the frosting and sprinkle all over with coconut flakes.
• Set in the refrigerator for 1 hour before serving.

Steps:

• For the cupcakes: Whisk 1 1/3 cups flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt. In a separate bowl, beat 1 stick softened butter and 1 cup granulated sugar with a mixer on medium-high speed until fluffy, 4 minutes. Beat in 2 eggs, one at a time, then 1/2 teaspoon coconut extract. Beat in the flour mixture on low speed in three batches, alternating with 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut milk. Beat on medium-high speed until just combined. Divide among 12 lined muffin cups. Bake at 350˚ until the tops spring back when pressed, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes in the pan, then remove to a rack to cool completely.

• Spread the shredded coconut on a baking tray and put in the oven for about 10 mins to lightly toast - stir halfway through. Cool. To make the frosting, put the chocolate, butter and icing sugar in a big bowl and beat together with an electric whisk until just combined.
• Spread some of the frosting generously over the top of the cooled cakes - you don't have to go right to the edges. Once you've done all 12, scrape the rest of the icing into a piping bag fitted with a 1-2cm nozzle, and pipe a ring around the top edge to make a nest. Roll in the cooled coconut to roughly coat.
• Turn each mini egg into a baby chick by moulding little beaks from the orange or yellow icing and sticking on with a little runny black icing when you add the eyes. Stick baby chicks into the middle of each cake and enjoy.

Steps:

• When the butter and chocolate have melted, remove from the heat and allow to cool for 1-2 mins, then beat in the eggs and sugar with an electric whisk. Fold in the flour and raspberries.
• Gently pour the mixture into the tins and bake for 20-25 mins or until golden brown and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean (the raspberries may leave a residue on the skewer, so don't be fooled by their juiciness). Remove the cakes from the oven and allow to cool in the tins for 10 mins before turning out onto a wire rack.
• To make the ganache, put the chocolate in a heatproof bowl with 100ml of the cream, set over a pan of barely simmering water. Stir until the chocolate has melted into the cream and you are left with a smooth, glossy ganache. Leave the ganache to cool to room temperature, then beat in the rest of the cream.
• When the cakes have cooled, sandwich them together with the chocolate ganache. Dust with icing sugar just before serving.
