Hawaiian Luau Themed Cupcakes

Hearing, “Aloha,” and eating Parasol cupcakes will only be the beginning of a great time at a Hawaiian Luau party. From Parasol cupcakes and ocean blue party supplies to pineapple snacks and leis, most people will find a Hawaiian themed luau party to be a lot of fun. For the most part, the cupcakes for a Hawaiian Luau party can be baked from any cake recipe and then decorated festively to add to the occasion. Therefore, planning the directions prior to the party will leave plenty of time for planning.

Hawaiian Luau parties are very exciting for most guests and having neatly designed Hawaiian themed cupcakes will add to this festive party. One of the most popular cupcakes for a Hawaiian Luau party is the Parasol cupcakes. These cupcakes are very easy to make and will not only taste great, but will be very decorative and appealing. First of all, after baking traditional white or yellow cupcakes, allow them to cool and then put colorful icing on the top of each cupcake. An ocean blue or a grass green is perfect for this cupcake. Either of these frostings can be made by adding food coloring to a bowl and mixing with white frosting. For example, ocean blue icing would be made by mixing only one drop of blue food coloring to the white frosting and mixing. Additional drops of blue can be added until the color is perfect. The same holds true for the green icing. After the cupcakes have been frosted (either green or blue), then add a few colorful sprinkles on the top of each cupcake and then add a decorative parasol to give it the Hawaiian Luau look. This simple recipe will complement the Hawaiian Luau decorations and party supplies.
Another great approach to decorating cupcakes for a Hawaiian Luau party is to design each one individually using a variety of Hawaiian Luau themes. For instance, grass skirts can be designed on most of the cupcakes by using the grass green frosting and then bringing it out of the decorative tube in strings giving it a fluffy look. Additionally, other cupcakes can be designed with surf boards, starfish, fish and other designs specifically related to this party theme.
