If there’s one thing that instantly makes me think of sunshine, summer, and the beach, it’s a Piña Colada! That’s exactly where the inspiration for this cake came from. I’ve turned those classic tropical flavors into a cake with juicy pineapple, creamy coconut, and a little touch of rum. The combination is fresh, tropical, and incredibly delicious – like a Piña Colada in cake form!

If you want to make a simpler version of the cake, you can skip some of the decorations and simply drip the glaze over the mousse domes for a more understated finish.

If you’re serving the cake to children, you can also cook the rum in the mousse to evaporate the alcohol, as described in the recipe.

Happy baking <3
