We all have family traditions, whether they be games we play, holidays celebrations, or food we eat. Orange Cupcakes from Scratch-A Spring Tradition
Grandma would make these decadent orange cupcakes every Easter and Mother’s Day. It was a Spring tradition for us. Since Grandma passed away years ago, I can’t help but want and make these orange cupcakes every Spring. This year is no different. I am excited to pass along the recipe to you as one of your new Spring traditions.

April 4, 2013 at 5:04 AMThese look terrific. I can’t wait to try them. I love citrus desserts, especially ones with made with oranges. I love it that you are sharing your grandmother’s recipe with us. I imagine you think of her as you bake them. Grandmothers always make the best food! Mine is no longer with us and I cherish her recipes.
Blessings from Still Woods Farmhouse

June 14, 2013 at 1:45 PMThese sound wonderful, and I love that it’s a family tradition. How many cupcakes does the recipe make? Would you say they are a light and fluffy or a heavier consistency? Thanks.
