Orange Creamsicle Cupcakes

 

 

Remember those orange popsicles with white ice cream inside? These orange creamsicle  cupcakes taste just like those! Orange Crush Soda and Orange Jello give the cupcakes a wonderful orange flavor AND color!

 

They’re topped with a homemade orange butter cream. The orange soda serves as the milk component. If your icing is too thick add more soda. If too thin, add more powdered sugar.

    Why did you use egg whites inserts of the whole egg?

      Hi Alisa!
      Great question! When using a white cake mix, adding eggs will turn the batter yellow. It also leads to a lighter airier batter.

    Do you know if anyone tried these with a gluten free cake mix? I have a vanilla mix but don’t know how it would turn out.
