Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 yellow cake mix
  • ½ Cup(s) vegetable oil
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 ¼ Cup(s) Pina Colada Flavored Sparkling Water
  • 1 Cup(s) sweetened coconut

Frosting Ingredients:

  • 2 sticks salted butter softened
  • 1 teaspoon clear vanilla extract
  • 4 Cup(s) powdered sugar
  • 2-3 tablespoons Pina Colada Flavored Sparkling Water
  • ½ Cup(s) sweetened coconut
  • Maraschino cherries optional

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Add the cupcake liners to a cupcake pan.
  • Put the cake mix into a bowl and then add the eggs, oil, and water. Mix on medium speed. Fold in the coconut.
  • Add the batter into the liners 2/3 of the way full.
  • Put the pan in the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes until the toothpick comes out clean.
  • Let the cupcakes cool before adding the frosting.
  • To make the frosting, add the butter to a bowl and beat for 2 minutes until light and fluffy.
  • Add the vanilla and then slowly add the powdered sugar 1 cup at a time. Add a little bit of the sparking water in between each cup of sugar and mix for 1-2 minutes until stiff peaks form - but don't overmix!
  • Add the frosting to a piping bag and frost the cooled cupcakes. Sprinkle coconut on top, add a cherry, and a paper umbrella. Enjoy!
