With LUAU parties in full swing all summer long, I thought that it would be fun to add another idea to your list!! I think both kids and adults would have fun with their very own tropical drink cakes!
I know that I say this a lot, but these are SO easy!! Trust me, they really are. I’ve only tried these once (today) :0) -And was so happy that the final cakes matched the picture that I had in my mind–whew!
For these, I used my Wilton Mini Wonder Mold pan–(each pan makes 4 little cakes at a time)– but I bet chocolate cupcakes would give you a really cute result too. So, here we go!
For each individual cake, you’ll trim off the small point so that you can then flip it and it will stand on it’s own. Then hollow out a depression.
Now, we dress our cups in something festive! I picked up some little umbrellas and straws at our local party supply store (Party City) –
Now, go find a palm tree to sit under and have yourself a nice coconut drink :0) Cheers!

Melissa could you use those strawberry twists for the straws? I think they also have rainbow colored ones!

Cutest thing ever!

wow very ease to make and very pretty….love it
Oh my god I just luv it
do you think this would work with just a regular cupcake pan?
Hi Alyson–Hmmm…good question. It seems like if your cupcakes have a good sized dome, you could flip them over (level off a tiny bit so they’ll be stable) and you’d wind up with a similar shape. It won’t be as tall…but I think you would get the point across! If you try it, let us know how it goes!
Going to make these for my friends 40th Birthday. Did you have any issues with the cakes sticking in the pan? Any suggestions? How full did you fill the cake pans?
Thanks!
Hi Jenni–No, I didn’t have any issues. Some people use Baker’s Joy or other nonstick sprays, but we just lightly grease our pans with vegetable shortening and lightly flour them.
*You definitely want to prep the pan in some way before pouring in the batter.
You can use an ice cream scoop or measuring cup to fill the cake pans. We usually fill approx 2/3 full.
Have fun!! ;0)
Totally cute. I just used a 50% coupon and bought this pan at Michael’s today. I am getting ready to make these and try my hand at the dolls too!
Hey Dana–Great! I think you will like them.
So cute! wht do you serve them on? Cupcake wrapper?
We serve on a dessert plate, no cupcake wrapper.
