These Pineapple Cupcakes are So Full of Sunshine and Fun!

I adore these easy pineapple cupcakes. The kid worked really hard to make them all by herself and these free printable pineapple crowns made it so easy!

Pineapple Cupcakes

Here at Ruffles and Rain Boots, we love making baked goods–even if the party they’re for is pretend. And baking with the kiddo has become a big part of our routine lately. We’re both learning so much and building lasting memories we’ll never forget. Our latest bonding experience was over these awesome pineapple cupcakes.

The kiddo is so proud of herself–she made these almost all alone while I supervised. I just helped with the frosting and, of course, making the printable pineapple crowns she could pop on top. If you’re ready to bond over some adorable pineapple cupcakes, let’s get started.

Tips to Make Summer Cupcakes

• Grab the little free printable pineapple crowns here and save yourself the trouble of trying to draw some out–not worth it.
• Let these pineapple cupcakes cool completely before frosting them. Warm frosting runs and friends, it’s not pretty.
• Noooooormally, I’d tell you to start with your favorite vanilla cupcake recipe, but not this time. This time, we’re making this into a 2-ingredient cupcake recipe that ROCKS! But, if you need a vanilla cupcake recipe for some reason, I recommend making our Lazy Girl’s Easy Vanilla Cupcakes. They take less than 30-minutes and use ingredients you likely have on hand. But for this one, let’s stick with the recipe card below.
