Releasing new Spring seasonal flavor!

 Welcome back lovlies!

I hope you all are as ready for spring as I am! To celebrate I am going to discuss our new spring season cupcake! I’ve been ready for this cupcake, and I know you all have been ready also! Introducing...our new spring seasonal flavor...orange dreamsicle!!!

One of my favorite cupcakes is our lemon cupcake strictly because of the nice citrus flavor. We already sell lemon and lime margarita so it was only fitting that the next citrus cupcake be a childhood favorite of orange dreamsicle! This cupcake is orange flavored cake, (with fresh orange juice instead of orange extract!) orange and vanilla flavored swirled buttercream, and topped with orange sanding sugar! I knew the cake and frosting had to have natural orange juice and zest for the flavor. I try to avoid artificial extracts as much as possible. If they are not used right then they can be way over powering and give almost a burning sensation down your throat...nobody needs or wants that! The cake is so nice and fluffy with the subtle hint of orange, while the buttercream is silky smooth and light with that subtle and natural orange flavor! For the frosting I knew I wanted to swirl vanilla and orange because that is what makes an orange dreamsicle! The vanilla adds that creamy flavor into the orange. I made sure to ever so lightly color the orange buttercream with orange food coloring that way you got a nice swirl of the white and orange to look more like the classic treat! The sanding sugar is just that nice subtle decor to top it all off! I always buy fresh fruit and juice them myself for any fruity cupcake! I make and buy everything fresh by order, because I want you to have the best and nothing less! 

I needed these to be a spring seasonal cupcake for the fact of how bright and cheery that these cupcakes look (and taste!) I wanted this to get everyone in the spring mood and looking forward to the warming weather! I like to also try and keep my fruity cupcakes more in the season of the fruit since I do use fresh fruit. That is why my chocolate strawberry cupcake is a seasonal one as well. I still wanted you all to have access to fruity cupcakes all year so I did put the lemon and strawberry on our regular menu! These orange dreamsicle cupcakes will be available all of spring and I allow you guys to start ordering the next season a month before the new season starts...so no worries you can get your seasonal cupcakes a little early ;) They run the same price as the gourmet cupcakes, so &25/dozen! I can always do a variety dozen of 6 in one flavor and 6 in another, but that does cost a little extra. 

My taste testers absolutely loved these cupcakes! They gave me the approval of releasing it all to you! I have so many more test kitchen recipes to try and release! All the way from new seasonal ones, to new regular ones, new gourmet, and even the holiday ones! If you guys ever have any suggestions as well, then I am all ears to hear them out! I love thinking of new flavors for you and testing them out in the test kitchen! I hope you all enjoy the new flavor and childhood classic combined into a cupcake! I can’t wait to release the next new seasonal one coming in summer! (hint: pineapple... ) I hope you all have a wonderful day and if you are going on vacation soon then I hope you have a wonderful time and stay safe! Talk to you next blog!
