These Orange Creamsicle Cupcakes bring back fond childhood memories of the ice cream man and his musical little truck. The only difference is that these cupcakes don’t melt.
I love bringing back memories with my recipes. My Orange Creamsicle Cupcakes do just that. They taste like a summer afternoon with the creamy and tangy flavor of my favorite summertime frozen treat.
There’s nothing shameful about using a box cake mix – it’s just all the ingredients you need in one box. By adding or substituting ingredients, you can add a lot of flair. I subbed with orange soda for the water on the box mix directions.
