You’ll get better each time you do it. The hardest part is slicing the pineapple thin enough. You want to use a sharp knife and have patience!

How to make dried pineapple flowers Cut the top and bottom off the pineapple with a sharp knife. Cut off the rind. Dig out the extra seeds and “eyes”. I use my small melon baller for this, but you can use the end of a vegetable peeler or small paring knife. Slice the pineapple into very thin almost translucent slices. Pat dry with paper towel. Line the pineapple slices on a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake at 225°F for 40 minutes, flip and bake another 30 minutes or until dried and starting to brown on edges. If not yet dried, watch for every 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer warm pineapple slices to a cupcake tin. Use a miniature cupcake pan for smaller slices. Dry overnight. I recommend making the pineapple flowers the day before you make the cupcakes because they require overnight to dry — and you need to use the cupcake pans to form the flowers.
