My Girl, Paula: Orange Blossoms

Orange Blossoms was this week's recipe for My Girl, Paula. These cupcakes are so yummy. I love the combination of flavors.

I did not like making mini cupcakes. I made some regular size and it worked great, just had to bake longer of course.

I think I have dipping dexlexia! I ended up putting the blossoms close together on waxed paper and drizzling the glaze over them. It worked!

My son proclaimed these as AWESOME!

Ingredients:

Cakes:

1 package yellow cake mix

1 (3.4 oz) package instant lemon pudding mix

4 eggs

3/4 cup cold water

3/4 cup vegetable oil

Glaze:

3 c. confectioners' sugar

1/2 cup frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed

3 T melted butter

3 T water

Directions:

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease one or two miniature muffin pans.

For the cakes, in a mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, pudding mix, eggs, water, and oil; beat well. Fill the prepared muffin pans, using about 1 tablespoon of batter for each cake.

Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cakes spring back when touched.

For the glaze, mix all the ingredients until smooth; set aside.

Dip the blossoms in the glaze immediately after removing them from the oven. Drain on waxed paper.

Yields: 7-8 dozen
