This past Saturday I hosted a baby shower for my daughter. We decided on a Cake Boss cake from our local Kroger store instead of the traditional and flavorless white cake with baby shower decoration. My daughter was thrilled at the choice. But that had a layer of chocolate cake and fudge between the layers, so I wanted an alternative for anyone who doesn't care for chocolate - sounds weird to me, but I knew of at least one guest with that peculiarity. So I selected the orange cake and decided to make them cupcakes which I displayed circling the Cake Boss cake.
My young niece liked them, eating every last bite. I found, as I have come to expect from these recipes, the cupcake nearly perfect in texture, moist, and pleasant in flavor. I was surprised, perhaps pleasantly so, that the flavor was not as intensely orange as I had expected. I liked the subtle orange flavor. The cream cheese frosting was complimentary, even refreshing. (But then I have always been "mad" about cream cheese frosting, a perfect compliment to nearly any cake, in my opinion.)
The picture is from the Cake Mix Doctor website - I tinted my frosting orange, which I thought was appropriate .
