If you’re ready to start your own cupcake journey, Renee has offered the following cupcake recipe. Her Orange Dreamsicle Cake takes the traditional flavors of a favorite summer treat and recreates it as a cupcake. Even better, it is a “semi-homemade” style cupcake that takes a cake mix to the next level with the flavors of orange and vanilla.

1. Mix cake mix with orange pop and eggs. Line cupcake pan with cupcake wrappers, pour batter into cups. Bake 10-15 minutes at 350 degrees F.
2. When cake is done, poke holes in the cake with fork sprayed with cooking spray. Mix 1 package of orange jello in 1 cup hot water until dissolved. Add 1 cup cold water. Pour entire mixture over cake. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
3. Mix Vanilla pudding mix and other pack of Jell-O together (dry). Add 1 cup of milk and 1 tsp. Vanilla.
4. Mix well. Blend in Thawed cool whip. Use this mixture to frost cake.
5. Keep refrigerated.
