ORANGE DREAMSICLE CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Make the cupcakes: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 18 muffin cups with paper liners. Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a medium bowl; set aside. Beat the egg whites in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, about 4 minutes; set aside.
• Beat the butter, granulated sugar, egg yolks, orange zest and orange oil in a separate large bowl with a mixer on medium speed until smooth and combined, about 4 minutes. Reduce the speed to low; beat in the flour mixture in three batches, alternating with the orange juice. Fold in the beaten egg whites. Spoon the batter into the muffin cups, filling each about halfway. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the centers comes out clean, about 15 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes in the pans, then remove to racks to cool completely.
• Make the frosting: Beat the butter and vanilla in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 6 minutes. Reduce the speed to low; gradually beat in the confectioners' sugar. Add the milk, increase the speed to medium and beat until light and fluffy. Frost the cupcakes. Top with sanding sugar and orange gummy candies.
• Orange oil gives the cupcakes an intense orange flavor that you can?t get from just extract or zest.

ORANGE CREAMSICLE CAKE/BALLS

Steps:

• 1. Cream butter and sugar well, about 5 minutes. Add eggs, continue beating.
• 2. Mix dry ingredients in another bowl and add to wet. Blend in flavorings, colors (*If desired), and liquids. Beat at high speed 2 minutes until fluffy and light.
• 3. Pour into greased 7" x 11" pan and bake at 350 for 30 minutes or until a toothpick tests clean. Cool completely.
• 4. For cake balls, crumble cake and mix with 1/2 c Orange DreamPudding to bind.
• 5. To make pudding, blend all ingredients together in mixer bowl. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• 6. To make the centers, scoop several scant 1/4 teaspoon portions into a shallow bowl spread with 1/4 c powdered sugar. Gently and quickly roll each little pudding ball in the sugar and put on a plate. Work quickly so the heat of your hands doesn't melt the pudding. Freeze until time to insert into cake balls.
• 7. Stuff by first rolling cake ball. Use your little finger to push an indentation almost all the way through the center of the ball. Add the "pudding bon bon." Pinch to close and reroll. Refrigerate 15 minutes before dipping in chocolate or white chocolate.
• 8. As an alternative to dipping in candy melts, mix 3/4 cup powdered sugar with one pack of orange-flavored unsweetened soft-drink mix (kool-aid). Spread in shallow bowl and roll cake balls.
