Transfer the yellow and green buttercreams to two separate pastry bags fitted with star tips. Transfer the light buttercream to a pastry bag fitted with a round tip.
- On a large cutting board or serving platter, arrange the cupcakes as follows: arrange 10 cupcakes in a tall U shape. Inside the U, arrange the cupcakes in two columns of 4 cupcakes (8 cupcakes total). To make the pineapple leaves, place 2 cupcakes in the top center, 3 cupcakes in the next row, and finally, 1 cupcake at the very top.
- Pipe yellow frosting in star shapes onto the main body of the pineapple. Pipe vertical stripes of green frosting onto the pineapple leaves (the top three rows of cupcakes). Pipe light frosting in a grid pattern onto the yellow part of the pineapple, then pipe frosting inside each diamond shape to form a small inverted V.
