Orange Cupcakes

With spring just around the corner it is time to start baking with a spring flavour! I love cupcakes however, they are one of those things that I do not bake a lot of.  There are such a wide range of cupcake styles and flavours. Elegant to the classic chocolate cupcake, cupcakes are a great treat no matter how old you are.  These orange cupcakes are a refreshing spring citrus taste with a sweet frosting topping.  The grated orange peel in both, the cake and icing leaves such a cooling spring breeze of taste in your mouth.  Start Spring off with a bang and try these delicious fresh orange cupcakes!
