These super simple cupcakes have been a family favorite for years. My daughter used to make them and sale them to friends when she was only 11. She started getting orders for the cupcakes and made a little money on the side just from baking these easy cupcakes. This recipe is VERSATILE! You can use any flavor cake mix, any flavor of soda and any flavor of gelatin mix...the possiblities are truly endless!! Tonight I baked these for my Granddaddy's 81st birthday because orange is his favorite flavor and he has loved these simple cupcakes for years. The orange candy on top is also vegan- yes, orange slices are vegan (Yay!!). So, have fun with this recipe and let me know if you come up with a new flavor combination that is amazing.
