Pineapple and Rum Cupcake Recipe with Boozy Buttercream Story

Pineapple and Rum Cupcake Recipe with Boozy Buttercream

This yummy rum cupcake recipe falls somewhere along the line of Disney Dole Whip meets cute cupcake meets Pina Colada!

Any flavor of rum works in this great recipe. I suggest using something flavorful such as an actual pineapple-flavored rum or a dark spiced rum.

Coconut rum could be used if you hadn’t anything else in the liquor cabinet, however it would not be my first recommendation.
