This is my first time making Blue Curacao Cupcakes. This recipe has curacao liqueur. For those of you that do not know what that is or have never heard of it, I will explain. It is a liquid that has an orange flavor to it. More like a citrus flavor with coloring added.
These cupcakes are delicious and have a blue color to them. If you like citrus tastes, then you will like these cupcakes. Between the blue curacao, cream of coconut, and the pineapple juice, the citrus really comes out. It isn’t really that strong to my surprise, but you still get the amazing flavors from these cupcakes.
Arent’ they beautiful? I sure think that they turned out very pretty. I can’t leave out the deliciousness.
These Blue Curacao Cupcakes were a favorite for the adults that came to a recent party that I had here at home. I invited friends and family over for dinner and treats. We watched movies, played sporting games outside and let me tell you; they were a hit. I made a bunch of these and am I sure glad that I did. There were only three left after the party. Everyone there enjoyed them and kept asking how I made them. I shared the recipe with them and a friend has already made them for her husband and his friends and they were a favorite as well to them.
I definitely recommend that you try these amazing Blue Curacao Cupcakes for yourself, then come back here and let me know if you liked them. Did you make these for anyone special? How did they turn out for you? If you make these, be sure to follow the recipe on the below recipe card, so that you can get the wonderful results that I myself and my friend did. You will be surprised and proud of yourself after doing so.
