Deliciously divine piña colada cupcakes



Ok so this recipe is absolutely amazing and is one of my most frequently requested treats and sweets. So I thought I'd share it with you. Now when you make the batter it will looks super runny and super tasty but try not to eat the whole think before you cook it! And don't worry about the runnyness it will still cook ok, I will admit first time I made it I was worried too but it was super yummy

Also for the frosting make sure the cream cheese and butter are soft before you beat them, otherwise you will get a lumpy yucky frosting.

1/3 C coconut rum
3/4 C coconut milk
1/4 C pineapple juice
