Pina Colada Cupcakes
Time to make some cupcakes for Rita’s birthday. I decided to go with a box mix this time because 1) they are easy; 2) they are so moist and yummy; and 3) no one can tell the difference! Of course i added some stuff to it to jazz it up. See below for recipe.
Pina Colada Cupcakes
1 box white cake mix
1 cup pineapple juice
1/3 cup coconut rum
eggs (according to package)
vegetable oil (according to package)
8 oz. can crushed pineapple in juice, drained wel
1/2 cup shredded, sweetened coconut
Directions: Add mix, eggs, and oil according to the package. Substitute water for 1 cup pineapple juice and 1/3 cup coconut rum. Blend well with electric mixer. Add pineapple. Make sure it was well-drained and mix until just blended. Fold in coconut. Bake according to the package instructions.
Yum RUM and COCONUTZ!
Colorful (non pastel!) cupcake liners from Save-Mart. The naked cupcakes come out of the oven.
Time to decorate! Toasted coconut for the “sand”, goldfish crackers (colored and graham/smores flavor) for the fishies, frosting for the ocean and seaweed, and sprinkles for the bubbles.
The next morning i did a little photoshoot with them on the beach blanket in the sunroom.
