Orange Cupcakes with Raspberry Frosting.

Being a cupcake lover, I did something new today per a recipe I saw Giada de Laurentis make. She made a layer cake that looked so good and so pretty and very different. But being a cupcake lover, I did cupcakes instead. You can look up the recipe on Food TV but I did a little adjusting. I followed it pretty much but used more orange zest in the icing, I used sour cream in place of creme fraiche as I couldn't find it at Publix. I didn't feel like taking a bit longer to go to Fresh Market or Whole Foods but do know they do carry it. The sour cream worked just fine. You basically take a white cake mix and doctor it up with fresh orange zest and fresh orange juice. And the icing is just butter, sour cream, powdered sugar and raspberry jam. You end up with pretty orange cupcakes with pink icing. I topped each with a fresh raspberry. What a great combination! Next time I'm asked to bring cupcakes to a dinner party, this will be the ones I take.
