If you like Pina Coladas.................

Inspiration, where does it come from? When I first had the idea of making "drink inspired" cupcakes, I listed about 6 drinks that I thought would easily be translated into cupcakes. Pina Colada was one of the first ones on the list.  I love Pina Colada's and Malibu rum is super tasty so it was obvious to me that this needed to be my first "alcohol based cuptail" experiment!  I use the term "alcohol" loosely, because when all is baked and done - the alcohols are too!  But I think I have figured out a way to capture the essence of the alcohol and truly make my Pina Colada Cuptail one amazing cuptail!

Have I mentioned that this is probably MY favorite cuptail!

As far as how to display this cuptail, it has gone through a bit a of a metaphorsis
Starting with the dried baby pineapple slice

Then I tried to candy half a slice of pineapple myself

Same attempt at candying a pineapple

But then I found these dried pineapple chunks, some little swords and voila!

And yes, I do like getting caught in the rain!
