My daughter had a B'day and she didn't want a cake, sooo, I took two recipes that were on here and made my changes to them, the Whoopie pies I put in Jumbo muffin tins and adjusted the recipe to make them rise, the Pina Colada Cupcakes I added Coconut milk to and used my own frosting then topped them with a 1/2 of a maraschino cherry on top.
You cannot believe how delish they both came out. I will post my version of how I made them here.
