Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 muffin tins with cupcake liners and set aside.
In a large bowl combine the cake mix, melted butter, eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and allspice. Whisk until mostly smooth.
Fold in the candied pineapple.
Fill the muffin cups 3/4 of the way full (I like to use a 4 Tablespoon cookie scoop to do this).
Bake for 18-20 minutes. Remove from oven and cool on wire rack.
To make the frosting beat the butter in a large bowl. Add in the pineapple juice and vanilla and blend until smooth.
Add the powdered sugar, a half cup at a time, beating after each addition, until desired consistency is reached.
Pipe the frosting onto the cupcakes. Top with a candied pineapple or cherry if desired.
