Do you know what my favorite color in the whole entire world is? I’ll give you a hint… there is a bit of it on the blog. Did you guess? It’s ORANGE!! Orange is absolutely my favorite color! I love everything about it and I love everything that is the color orange.
Now I know some people don’t like to use boxed cake mix, but I am perfectly ok with using it. If you don’t like boxed cake mix, your favorite white homemade cake mix will work 🙂
But it is a good way to store them and sell them. I normally include a spoon or fork in the bag, so that whoever buys it doesn’t even have to take it out of the cup to eat it.
For Cupcakes:
- 2 boxes French Vanilla Cake Mix
- 24 oz Orange Soda
- 4 egg whites
For Cupcake Icing: (Or you can use store bought)
- 1 cup butter
- 8 cups powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 8 oz Cream cheese
- 4 tablespoons heavy cream
For Toppers:
- Orange Candy Pumpkins
- Green tinted icing
- Orange sanding sugar (optional)
- Green icing (green food coloring mixed with icing)
Instructions
For Cupcake Icing:Cream butter in the bowl of a mixer. Add cream cheese and mix well. Slowly add powdered sugar while mixing. Add vanilla and heavy cream and mix until combined.For my cupcake icing, I used a piping bag, fitted with a 2D Drop Flower Decorating Tip and swirled.
For Cupcake Toppers:Make a little bit of green icing with green food coloring and some of the icing mixed together. Pipe a tiny circle of green icing onto the center of the frosted cupcake.Place candy pumpkin on the circle. Pipe green vines onto the cupcake. Sprinkle with orange sanding sugars.
Yield: 24 Orange Soda Pumpkin Patch Cupcakes
