Honestly, the orange buttercream didn't taste very orange-y. It calls for two tablespoons of orange juice, but no extract. And that would have helped, but I didn't have any on hand. It actually tasted like lemon buttercream, likely due to the tablespoon of lemon zest in the recipe. Either way, they were super good. The vanilla cupcakes never disappoint.Oh, and I also promised a cute puppy. Here's Misti's dog Bailey sporting my new vintage 80s sunglasses with cool squiggly shapes on the lenses (which you can't really see because of the flash):
Bailey is an awesome dog. She's sweet and she follows me around my house when I dog sit ... but she does have an overactive bladder. She pees a little when she gets excited. But don't we all?Oh, and thanks for all the nice words about my moving/foreclosure situation. It sucks, but all your sweet comments make the process more bearable.

What a cute puppie! Trudy, our dog used to do the excited pee, but grew out of it. The cupcakes look delicious. Glad to hear the moving is going well. Moving does stink.

Just think...we have to turn 33 in a few years too. It's going to take a lot of cupcakes to make me ok with that. Haha! Cupcakes look awesome. Bailey pees everywhere, but I still love her! Misti is awesome and you are too. I have the best friends in the world!!!

the cupcakes look real pretty, even though they didn't turn out real orangey! that is always a disappointment when flavors aren't big enough! plus that puppy is adorable!!
Your cupcakes always look so professional!
Cute cupcakes AND puppies?! Sounds like my kind of post!
Aw~! I want to eat the cupcaks and kiss the puppy!
Perfect cupcakes!! I remember making the orange buttercream and being perplexed about the addition of lemon zest so I used orange zest instead. But yeah, I think a little orange oil would do the trick!
she´s adorable!!!!
