The kids and I were looking for a new flavor of cupcake that we hadn’t tried before and we came across this fabulous recipe. This recipe is great for two reasons. First cupcakes are always fun to make, especially if you’ve got kids and are looking for something fun to do together. Second, if you’re like me, you loved Creamsicles as a kid and these cupcakes are the perfect way to recreate the taste of those, but they take it to the next level! The orange and vanilla mixture of these cakes recreate the flavor of the Creamsicle ice cream so well that they didn’t last very long. Give them a try for your next celebration. I think your whole family and friends will love them!
