Hi all,
I'm getting ready to make some pineapple cupcakes for a kids birthday party, HOLA... But the mom doesn't want to use cream cheese in respect for her family who don't like CC. I'm trying to think of an alternative to cream cheese and buttercream that would compliment the Pineapple... help... in a pinch

I love the caramel buttercream idea. Or, you could mix a little maraschino cherry juice into the buttercream if you don't mind pink.
With all due respect to SugarFrosted, I doubt coconut would go over big at a kid's party. Some kids are allergic to it too, so it's risky. However, if the cupcakes were for ME, I'd have so much coconut on them it would look like Christmas.
For clarification, I meant coconut flavored buttercream, using coconut extract or imitation coconut flavoring.
My family hates the texture of coconut, so I only use the flavoring. Personally, I love coconut, but what can you do?
Coconut allergy is in fact very rare, and actually I never saw anyone with a reaction to coconut in all the years I was an ER nurse. When I googled it just now, the links I got stated that if there is a reaction, it is more often a contact dermatitis type reaction than a food allergy.
Thanks for the clarification, SugarFrosted. I've never known anyone with a coconut allergy either. I was just sucked in by the mob.
