food by Adrian Quinton 1/1/2016
Looking for a cake topper for an upcoming birthday that will wow the crowd or hoping to bring eye-catching cupcakes to next ladies' brunch? These charming pineapple flowers are just the answer!
Calling all ingredients!
In order to make these lovely embellishments, you will need the following items:
- One pineapple
- A sharp knife
- A cutting board
- A paring knife or small measuring spoon
- muffin tins and baking sheets
- parchment paper
Once you have everything ready it time to peel your pineapple!
Rough around the edges
Begin by cutting off the top of the pineapple. After you've accomplished this, slice off the rind. Be sure to follow the rind around, saving as much of the pineapple as possible for flower making!
Cross your t's and lose your eyes!
Next, use your small measuring spoon or your paring knife to carefully remove the eyes of the pineapple.
Moving along...
Once you've finished prepping your pineapple, lay it on its side.
Practice makes perfect
Begin slicing your pineapple. You will want your slices thin, so be sure you are able to see your knife through the pineapple as you cut!
Hold the juice please
In order to speed up the drying process you will want to press your pineapple slices between paper towels prior to setting them on the baking sheet.
Ready, set, bake!
Place your pieces of pineapple next to one another on the parchment paper lined baking sheet. Bake at 225 degrees. After 30 minutes in the oven, flip the slices, and bake an additional 30 minutes. You will notice the pineapple slices shrinking and drying as they bake. If your slices need a bit more baking, increase your cook time in 5 minute increments.
Pineapple perfection
Once your slices are golden around the edges, pull the baking sheets from the oven. Carefully remove your pineapple pieces and place them gently into the muffin cups. You will want to allow your flowers to sit overnight in these tins, as the curved natural flower look is created!
