Orange Cranberry Cupcakes w/ Cream Cheese Icing

I made these cupcakes for my co-worker who's leaving.  I was sure that he'd choose some chocolate cupcakes, but he was debating between orange cranberry muffins, orange cranberry cupcakes with cream cheese icing or strawberry cupcakes.  I personally like the strawberry cupcakes with strawberry buttercream icing, but that actually takes awhile.  So I'm kinda glad he chose these cupcakes.  

I've made this cupcake before - the funny thing is I don't know where the recipe is.  So I found a recipe in my notebook for cranberry cupcakes and orange cranberry muffins.  I decided that I'd make the muffins but smaller - so they're "cupcakes". Sucks, I can't remember what I did before.  I really need to write on the recipes if I substitute or whatever. This time I decided to try my decorating skills again. I had bought some tips for the piping bag.  I went nuts.  I had bought a 100 pack of tips, and then 2 huge tips from Cakes Plus.  I love the huge tips.  It's less time having to squeeze the piping bag. I am not good at squeezing the right amount. I still have trouble piping (writing).

It's been awhile since I've baked. I hope they came out well.

I don't know if you can see it, but I think the tip I used is a huge flower tip and I topped it with orange zest and a cranberry in the middle.


So the other day I went to Montgomery Mall and had a yocake - it's a yogurt cupcake combo and it was pretty good.  I had a pecan hazelnut cupcake with cream cheese icing, with acai berry frozen yogurt topped with granola.  Minus the granola, it was pretty good.  I think it would've been better with fruit or graham crackers.  Now I just need to learn how to make frozen yogurt...
