Orange Cream & Chocolate Cupcakes

Orange Cream & Chocolate Cupcakes

Orange Cream & Chocolate Cupcakes @createdbydiane

Orange Cream is pretty much a staple in the summer.

I can remember seeing the signs for Kohr Bros. all the way down the boardwalk.

Well since we are no where near the Jersey Shore now and it may be a while before we see Kohr’s again.  I thought I’d make some cupcakes to kick off the summer with a new twist on an old favorite.

If you close  you eyes when you bit into this, I bet you can imagine it tasting like orange sherbet and custard….

on top of a cupcake and not a cone, and well….this version won’t drip down you arm, so it has it’s advantages.

I looked around  to see how the Jersey Shore is coming along after Hurricane Sandy. Are you curious too, here is a live feed of Seaside Heights, new boardwalk and all. I walked along that area on the old boardwalk, many, many times. It’s nice to see what they have rebuilt.

We always joke that orange cream tastes like Johnson’s Baby Asprin, which I don’t even know if they make any more since I never hear about it, haven’t seen it in YEARS but we still mention it all the time.

Another version is orange Pez Candy, that is similar.

Well my husband loves orange cream, so these were made with him in mind and they passed his taste test with flying colors. I’m not going to mention how many he had!

\Orange Cream Frosting and Chocolate Cupcakes with Orange @createdbydiane

These may just be a new summer favorite since there is no Kohr Bros. nearby! I’m sure they will be making another appearance again REAL soon.

Tell me what flavors remind you of summer?
