Bright, orange, and cheery!
These cupcakes were made with 1 box of Duncan Hines Orange Supreme cake mix mixed with 12 ounces of Diet Sunkist Soda. Regular may also be used, but I like cutting calories whenever I can! Mix well in mixer and bake at 350 for about 18 minutes. Remove from pan and let cool on wire rack.
While cooling I used a small star cutter and orange fondant to cut out little stars to embellish the top of each cupcake.
These Cupcakes are frosted with Duncan Hines Frosting Creations in Orange Creme flavor. When Duncan Hines Frosting Creations came out, that was one of the flavors I had to get to try! It taste just like orange push pops! In order to make it pipeable I did have to add additional confectioners sugar to thicken it up, just added until it was stiff enough, about a cup since it is pretty warm and humid here right now...not complaining...I love this weather!

How easy peasy & YUMMY looking -- my kids will love these!
ReplyDeleteSo you don't mix the box cake according to directions? You just mix the cake mix powder with the soda?
ReplyDeleteThat's it! No egg or oil, just use a box of cake mix and 12 oz of your favorite soda diet or regular, I have used both and experimented with all types of flavors! This is one of my favorite ways to make cupcakes!
DeleteThat's awesome! I have another recipe from a box mix that uses orange extract and orange jello and orange zest, and those are great--but this is so easy! Can't wait to try it!
DeleteThanks for the quick reply!
