CUP-OF-CAKE: CREAMSICKLE CUCPCAKE RECIPE

Photo credit: Michelle.

Ingredients:

• One box orange flavored cake (prepared as the box directs) 
• Two cups heavy whipping cream 
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar 
• Two oranges for garnish (why not try candy orange slices instead?!)

Makes about two dozen cupcakes 

"After you prepare the cupcakes, whip the heavy cream until it becomes light and fluffy, slowly adding the powdered sugar while you mix until you get your desired sweetness. By using whipped cream instead of frosting you get the flavors of a creamsicle rather than orange cake. Slice orange quarters for garnish. (Keep them refrigerated before you serve them, the cream is delicate and will melt easily)."
