Preparation

Step 1

Heat oven to 325°F. Place paper baking cups into 24 mini (1 1/4-inch) muffin pan cups. Set aside.

Combine sugar and 1/4 cup butter in large bowl; beat at medium speed until creamy. Add orange juice concentrate, egg, orange zest and vanilla; continue beating until well mixed. Reduce speed to low; add flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda. Beat until well mixed. Add buttermilk; continue beating until smooth.

Spoon batter evenly into prepared muffin pan cups. Bake for 14 to 16 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool completely.

Place all frosting ingredients except whipping cream in medium bowl. Beat at medium speed, adding enough whipping cream for desired spreading consistency.

Pipe or frost cupcakes; garnish with orange slices, if desired.


*Substitute 1/8 teaspoon vinegar or lemon juice and enough milk to equal 2 tablespoons; let stand 5 minutes.
