These Peach Pina Colada Cupcakes are something new that we have tried at home. I am a fan of pina colada. I was excited to try making these and couldn’t wait to taste them. Can I just say DELICIOUS? I know I say that a lot about the cupcakes I post, but these are amazing.
The taste of peach is in the batter of the cupcakes. The peach taste and pina colada both are in the frosting. This way the pina colada is not overpowering the cupcakes themselves. This makes for one heck of a cupcake. I enjoy having a glass of milk with my Peach Pina Colada Cupcakes.
These cupcakes do not have an overpowering of sweetness in my opinion. The peach and pina colada together make these amazing cupcakes. As always, when I make cupcakes I get a lot of compliments. I received them with these cupcakes as well. My house was smelling so nice when I was baking these. The aroma was awesome. If you like peach flavoring and pina colada, then you will enjoy eating these cupcakes.
Before this, I had never had Peach Pina Colada Cupcakes. They are amazing. Feel free to print the recipe below and then come back and leave a comment. Let me know if you drooled over your cupcakes as well! I know my son really did enjoy his. Try the frosting by itself and you will see that everything about these cupcakes is amazing! The frosting reminds me of a pina colada ice cream from the local fair that I get each year. I do scoop out some ice cream with my cupcakes. If you do that as well, let us know. What kind of ice cream do you use if you do use any at all? I would love to know. We can all try different variations. I am open to that.
