Steps:
- Bake 24 cupcakes according to the box instructions. Let cool completely.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add 1 cup of the shredded coconut. Turn the mixer on low, add 8 drops of yellow food coloring and mix until the coconut is a uniform bright yellow. Transfer to a bowl. Add another cup of the coconut to the bowl and turn the mixer on low. Add 6 drops of yellow food coloring and 4 drops of red food coloring and mix until the coconut is a uniform reddish orange (add a few more drops of each if the color is not vibrate enough). Transfer the coconut to a separate bowl. Wash and dry out the standing mixer bowl and add the remaining 1 cup coconut. Turn the mixer on low and add 6 to 8 drops of blue food coloring. Mix until the coconut is a uniform bright blue. Transfer to a third bowl.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the chocolate candies, fruit candies and nonpareils. Set aside.
- Using a 1/2-inch round cutter, cut out a well in each cupcake (reserve the cut-out top pieces of each cupcake). Use a small spoon to scoop out the wells, being careful not to go all the way through the bottom of the cupcakes. Fill each cupcake well about two-thirds full with the mixed candy, about a heaping tablespoon. Cover the holes with the reserved cut-out tops.
- Frost the cupcakes with the vanilla frosting. Press some of the blue coconut onto the outer third of the top of each cupcake to form a stripe, then press some of the yellow coconut in the center third and finally the orange coconut in the final third. You should have 3 equal stripes on the top of each cupcake.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180˚C).
- Sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into a large bowl. Add the sugar and whisk to combine.
- Add the warm water, buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla and whisk until combined.
- Line 2 muffin tins with paper liners.
- Scoop the batter into prepared muffin tins, filling each cup a little more than halfway.
- Bake for about 20 minutes, until the tops of the cupcakes spring back when gently pressed. Let cool completely.
- Make the marshmallow filling: In a medium bowl, whip the heavy cream with an electric hand mixer until soft peaks form. Add the marshmallow cream and whip until stiff.
- Transfer the filling to a piping bag fitted with a medium round tip or a zip-top bag with a corner snipped off.
- Use the end of a whisk or another utensil to push down the center of each cupcake.
- Pipe the filling into the cupcakes, leveling off the tops if needed. Freeze for 15 minutes while you make the ganache and icing.
- Make the ganache: Add the chocolate chips and heavy cream to a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second increments, until melted. Mix together until smooth.
- Make the icing: In a medium bowl, stir together the powdered sugar and milk until smooth. The icing should fall off the spatula in ribbons. If it is too thin, add a bit more powdered sugar.
- Transfer the icing to a piping bag fitted with a small tip or a zip-top bag with a corner snipped off.
- Dip the top of each cupcake in the ganache, then set aside to dry for 10 minutes.
- Pipe icing curls across the center of the cupcakes and let dry for 15 minutes at room temperature.

Tips:
- Make sure the chocolate is melted smoothly and tempered properly to ensure a glossy finish and a stable structure for the pinata cupcake.
- When making the chocolate ganache, use high-quality dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60% for a rich and decadent flavor.
- To achieve a perfectly smooth ganache, strain it through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any lumps or impurities.
- To assemble the pinata cupcake, make sure the chocolate shell is completely set before filling it with the chocolate ganache and heart-shaped candy.
- For a more dramatic reveal, use a small hammer or mallet to crack open the chocolate shell, releasing the heart-shaped candy and chocolate ganache.
