ORANGE BLOSSOMS
This recipe started out as the Lemon Blossoms from "Paula Deen & Friends" cookbook. I didn't have the lemon or lemon pudding called for so I improvised. A word of warning - do not try this with a hand mixer. The dough is unbelievably stiff and I nearly burned out the motor on mine. The finished cupcakes are light as a feather though. I was truly amazed that such a thick batter would bake up so light.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray miniature muffin tins with cooking spray.
- Combine the cake mix, pudding mix, eggs and oil and blend with a stand mixer for about 2 minutes or until smooth.
- Pour about a tablespoon of batter into each spot in the muffin tin. I used a mini ice cream scoop about the size of a melon baller.
- Bake for about 12 minutes. Remove from pan immediately and set aside to cool slightly.
- Sift the confectioner's sugar into a mixing bowl. Add the water, oil and vanilla and mix until smooth.
- Dip the warm cupcakes into the glaze and place them on a wire rack with waxed paper underneath to cool and for the glaze to set. This could take a while especially if it's humid.
- When the glaze has set completely the cupcakes can be stored in an airtight container until it's time to serve them.

Steps:
- Stir together orange juice, eggs, and sugar in a small saucepan. Place over low heat, and stir constantly until the sugar has dissolved, and the mixture is very thick. Once thick, strain mixture into a large bowl, and stir in butter cubes until melted. Cover and refrigerate until cold, about 2 hours.
- Fold whipped cream into cold egg mixture until smooth. Recover and refrigerate for 3 hours.
- To assemble, place half of the cubed angel food cake into the bottom of a trifle bowl. Spoon on half of the whipped cream mixture, and sprinkle with half of the Mandarin oranges. Create a second layer with the remaining angel food cake, whipped cream mixture, and Mandarin oranges. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Steps:
- Prepare cake mix as directed. Bake in tiny muffin tins that have been sprayed with vegetable oil. Mix together sugar and juice and rinds of oranges and lemons. Stir until sugar is dissolved. While muffins are still warm, dip each muffin into sugar/juice mixture. Cool muffins on cookie racks. These freeze well.
Tips
- Use fresh oranges for the best flavor and aroma. Look for oranges with a deep orange color and a smooth, unblemished skin.
- Zest the oranges before juicing them to get the most flavor out of the fruit.
- If you don't have orange blossom water, you can substitute vanilla extract or almond extract.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help the cookies to be tender and flavorful.
- Gradually add the eggs to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the cookies from curdling.
- Stir in the dry ingredients until just combined. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies to hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Bake the cookies in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just starting to brown.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
