Dole Whip Cupcakes – Yummy!

The Dole Whip is a popular snack with the Disney community. I admit I’m not really a fan. I am a fan of the Dole Whip with rum available in Epcot, but the regular Dole Whip offered in other spots isn’t something I will go out of  my way for. I do think I would go out of my way for these cupcakes too! Easy to make and delicious!
