MJF Notes: Maybe a Myers Rum floater brushed on top before icing?

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Line muffin tins with cupcake liners.

Mix together the ingredients on the box, separate batter into two medium bowls (2 cups each).

In one bowl add the orange jello, mix and add the chopped cherries, set aside.

In the other bowl add the island pineapple jello, mix and add the crushed pineapple plus the food coloring.

Mix until well combined.

Add 1 tablespoon of the pineapple batter to all the cupcake liners, then 1 tablespoon of the orange jello batter on top.

Bake 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Cool in tins 10 minutes.

Cool completely on wire racks. Frost, have fun and decorate!

TIP: I found the mini pails at Hobby Lobby, the sun glasses are buttons I found at Michaels and the sand is ground up graham crackers.

For the Coconut Lime Frosting:

Whip the butter until fluffy, add extracts, whip until well combined.

Add sugar 1 cup at a time, make sure to add water as needed, dont wait until the end.

For a fluffy marshmallow like frosting whip an additional 2 minutes.
