Welcome back lovelies!
I have been so excited to make and talk about this new flavor! This has been a flavor I have been requested to make for years...since I have been baking! *Drum role* Introducing...Pina Colada flavor!! This flavor is the definition of summer...it represents relaxing vacations, warm weather, tropical flavors, and some fun drinks ;)
This cupcake will be non-alcoholic just like our margarita one...that way kids can enjoy it too and you won't need to worry about if they get a hold of one! The pina colada cupcake will be showcasing our all new fresh pineapple cake! A moist and fluffy vanilla cake with fresh crushed pineapple bits and juice mixed in. I try my best to avoid extracts at all cost. I have found that extracts are either too strong or don't taste real at all...especially with fruit. Next, it is topped with creamy coconut buttercream! I did have to use coconut extract for the buttercream because when I was playing around with coconut milk/cream the flavor never came out right or the texture was off. Don't worry though because the coconut extract for once does taste real and not artificial! It compliments our famous creamy buttercream perfectly! To top of this tropical dessert, we have a nice sprinkle of toasted coconut shreds and a maraschino cherry on top! This cupcake looks, taste, and smells like summer! I am so beyond happy of how the flavor and design turned out! You will want to act fast because like the other seasonal flavors this one is limited time. You ca buy this flavor for $25/dozen from June 21st to September 22nd!
I hope you guys are as excited for this flavor as I am! I've had so many friends and family over the years request a pina colada cupcake! It was a trial and error of dabbling with how I want the flavors to play through and finding the right balance. If you ever have any suggestion or flavor requests please let me know! I would love to hear them and see if I can get your flavor on the menu! I have SO many more test kitchen flavors I can not wait to try...so be on the look out because new flavors will be popping up everywhere and won't be ending any time soon! I hope you all enjoyed this blog and enjoy the new summer cupcake!
