📝 Preparation Steps
1
Make the cupcakes: Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two standard 12-cup muffin pans with paper liners. Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.
2
Beat oil, eggs, vanilla, and buttermilk with an electric mixer on medium speed until combined, about ⏱️ 1 minute. Add flour mixture and beat until combined, 1 to ⏱️ 2 minutes. Transfer to prepared pans, dividing evenly (each cup should be about two-thirds full).

Bake, until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean, 16 to ⏱️ 18 minutes. Cool in pans on a wire rack ⏱️ 15 minutes, then transfer to rack to cool completely.
4
Make the buttercream: Beat butter with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and creamy, 1 to ⏱️ 2 minutes. Beat in milk, vanilla, and 2 cups confectioners’ sugar until combined. Add remaining 2 cups confectioners’ sugar and beat until combined. Set aside 1 ½ cups of buttercream. Frost cupcakes with remaining buttercream. Press shredded coconut into frosting.

Stir together 1 cup frosting and black food coloring in a bowl until desired shade is reached. Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a small round piping tip or a zip-top bag with a small hole cut in one corner. Stir together ½ cup frosting and orange food coloring in a second bowl until desired shade is reached. Transfer to a second piping bag fitted with a small round piping tip or a zip-top bag with a small hole cut in one corner. Pipe a carrot-shaped nose in the center of each cupcake. With the black frosting, pipe two eyes and five or six smaller dots for the mouth. Store cupcakes, covered, at room temperature up to 2 days.
