This weekend I made pina colada cupcakes decorated in a nautical theme to go along with our office party theme. The cupcakes are made with a vanilla cake mix. Instead of water n oil I substituted one 1/2 cup pineapple juice, 1/2 cup coconut rum, and 1/3 cup of coconut cream. I then added one small can of crushed pineapple, drained, right into the already mixed batter. The frosting was made with a mix from wilton for whipped icing. In the frosting I also substituted 1/2 cup of coconut rum and 1/2 cup of pineapple juice. For the whipped frosting the instructions called for ice water so I mixed the rum n juice n chilled it in the freezer for about 15 minutes. The discs used for decoration are pre colored wilton sugar sheets I purchased at our local grocery store, I cut out circles using a cup and a sharp knife n piped the designs with a round decorating tip.
Although I got a stomach bug n couldn't make it to the party I shared the cupcakes with friends n of course my #1 fan!
Because of being sick all weekend I didn't get to make the second batch of cupcakes but oh well there's always next wknd!
