I posted these yummy treats on facebook and instagram the other day, and there were lots of recipe requests. Well, ask and ye shall receive!
These are my mom’s yummy concoction – a combination of a cupcake recipe she found online and a favorite frosting recipe (guys – this frosting is legit). My mom has become something of a cupcake queen in the past couple years, and these orange creamsicle cupcakes are her latest favorite. And they are delicious!

These look so yummy! I was working a wedding on Saturday night that was all ice cream themed, and they had orange creamsicle cupcakes that were shaped like ice cream bars. They even had popsicle sticks in one end! So cute.
