Carrie's Notes:

Orange Dreamsicle / Creamsicle in a cake form

Directions

for cake:

Preheat oven to 325 degrees

Sift all dry ingredients into bowl, then mix all wet ingredients into dry ingredients together until blended.
scoop batter into cupcake liners/cupcake tin Bake @325degrees 18-20min until cooked through (cake springs back/or toothpick comes clean)
let cool on racks before adding filling
Makes approx 30-32 cupcakes

For Ding Dong filling:
Cook together first 5 ingredients until thick like wallpaper paste. make sure flour is added and mixed well so doesnt become lumpy.
Cool.
Mix sugar, butter, and shortening. Add to cooled mixture and beat with mixer 5 minutes/or until fluffy. Squeeze into cooled cupcakes with a frosting bag and tip.

on top *orange glaze or frosting of your choice for top. I typically use the crusting buttercream recipe for all my cakes and cupcakes listed in my recipe filem, and you could flavor that orange or vanilla to your liking and color with orange food coloring if preffered

Rich's Bettercreme is not available anywhere within 100 miles of my home and my 6yr old wants these cupcakes for her school picnic. Would you have a suggestion for something else I can use, since I would really like to have a filling.
