What You’ll Need

To decorate your desserts with Pina Colada Buttercream, you’ll need:

• CakeSupplyShop Pina Colada Buttercream Frosting

• Your favorite cake, cupcakes, cookies, or other baked treats

• Piping bag

• Piping tip of your choice

• Spatula or offset spatula

• Toasted or shredded coconut, optional

• Pineapple-themed decorations, optional

• Yellow, green, or white sprinkles, optional

• Cocktail umbrellas or tropical cake toppers, optional

Step 1: Prepare Your Cake or Cupcakes

Start by baking your favorite cake or cupcakes according to your preferred recipe.

Pina Colada Buttercream can pair especially well with vanilla, coconut, pineapple, or other tropical-inspired cake flavors.

After baking, allow your cake or cupcakes to cool completely before decorating. Frosting warm baked goods can cause the buttercream to soften or melt.

Step 2: Prepare the Pina Colada Buttercream

Using CakeSupplyShop Pina Colada Buttercream Frosting makes this step quick and simple.

Instead of measuring butter, powdered sugar, pineapple flavoring, coconut flavoring, and other ingredients, your flavored buttercream is ready for decorating.

Open the frosting and gently stir it with a spatula if needed until it has a smooth, workable consistency.

Step 3: Fill Your Piping Bag

Choose your favorite piping tip and place it inside a piping bag.

Spoon the CakeSupplyShop Pina Colada Buttercream Frosting into the bag, leaving enough room at the top to twist the bag closed comfortably.

Gently work the buttercream toward the piping tip to remove any large air pockets.

Step 4: Pipe the Pina Colada Buttercream

For cupcakes, begin piping around the outside edge and gradually work toward the center.

Continue upward to create a generous swirl of Pina Colada Buttercream. Maintain steady pressure on your piping bag to create a smooth and consistent finish.

For cakes, use an offset spatula to spread the buttercream evenly across the top and sides.

You can also use different piping tips to create rosettes, stars, borders, shells, and other decorative designs.

Step 5: Create a Tropical Pina Colada Look

Now it’s time to give your desserts a fun tropical finish.

Try decorating with:

• Shredded or toasted coconut

• Pineapple-inspired decorations

• Yellow, green, and white sprinkles

• Tropical sugar decorations

• Cocktail umbrellas

• Edible pearls

• Colorful tropical cake toppers

For cupcakes, a tall Pina Colada Buttercream swirl topped with coconut and a tiny cocktail umbrella can create a fun tropical presentation.

Desserts to Pair with Pina Colada Buttercream

Pina Colada Buttercream can bring tropical flavor to many different desserts. Try it with:
