Jump to the recipe Print version
Orange Creamsicle CRUSH Cupcakes are packed full of incredible orange cream flavor!
When I was a little girl, this was my ultimate favorite popsicle and it in cupcake for? Trust me its FANTASTIC! 
The frosting in itself is something straight out of heaven!
I could eat it with a spoon! (seriously) LOL 😉
The Jell-O makes the cupcakes so deliciously moist and perfect!
Orange Crush Soda is something I have always loved since I was a child!
Infusing that amazing flavor into cupcakes is one of the best ideas EVER!
I am most definitely going to be doing this in a cake form SOON!
I’m going to do a Creamsicle Lush, Sheet Cake and a Layered cake in the upcoming weeks so please stay tuned
Don’t you just want to do a Faceplant into these?!
I think next time I will fill them with a nice white cream in the center!
Perfect for parties, birthdays or just dessert after dinner!
Trust me, this is a recipe you will come back to time and time again!
Easy, yummy and bursting with flavor!
Adding a bit or orange zest would give it an extra kick!
