Have you ever seen a more summer-y looking cupcake? I swear if you just bundled up a handful of sunshine and whisked in some sugar you’d get one of these orange cream cupcakes. I can’t think of a better way to kick of June. And June is certainly making a grand entrance with some 92 degree weather the other day. Um, hello sleepless nights and permanent high ponytails. The only thing that’s made this sudden heat wave bearable is a whole lot of popsicles. And these cupcakes. Which don’t do much for bringing your body temperature down, but they do remind me of those 50/50 bars which have gotten me through many hot summer afternoons. These orange cream cupcakes have that really amazing vanilla-orange flavor combo going on and the frosting is lick-the-spoon good. Better than that actually, it’s make-me-a-batch-no-cupcakes-required good. Not that I would ever make a bowl of frosting and eat it straight up like that….. Oh wait. Yes I would. Don’t judge, when you taste this frosting you’ll understand. Recipe adapted from Your Cup of Cake.
