ReplyDeleteOmg, I think I must make this, although where do you find grape seed oil and is that essential??
ReplyDeletewas directed to this recipe through desgin*sponge. i absolutely love orange chocolate (the ones they sell during christmas) and this is a real cute way to tel your co-workers the big news. congrats and thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI wish packaged cake mix wasn't used.. Cute though!
ReplyDeleteAgree love the presentation and want to learn which fonts were used.
ReplyDeleteMade these last night for my birthday, but we used our own chocolate cake mix from scratch! They turned out well, though I might try making a devil's food cake next time - or simply using more chocolate - since the basic chocolate cake recipe came out lighter than expected. The ones in the photo look *really* dark! The orange juice AND orange zest made our icing very strong, but perhaps that's because the cake was so light. A neat twist for the over-21 crowd might be to substitute a splash of Grand Marnier for the OJ in the icing. ;) Fantastic recipe, thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteLove the stylish photo shots of yours
ReplyDeleteMade these today and they were a hit. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteMaking these for our Thursday's dinner! Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteThis blog is absolutely interesting!! I usually like to use orange juice in every thing. The orange have many properties, vitamin and antioxidats. This is the main reason why i consume a lot. Actually now, that my husband buy viagra i prepare for him recipe who contain many vitamin.
ReplyDeleteI'm wondering why it is called Orange chocolate cupcake. Is it because of the orange presented in the layout or does the cupcake have a mix of orange flavor? Hehe. Well anyways, the presentation will make you crave for it and the icing is perfectly placed. Cheers!
