Orange creamsicle cupcakes

Here's my boozy version of the orange creamsicle. Not to toot my own horn but they were delicious.

Ingredients:
1 box Betty Crocker white cake mix
1 cup 2% milk

1/4 cup triple sec
1/3 cup vegetable oil
3 egg whites

Orange food coloring

Here we go:
Pre-heat the oven to 350 - In large bowl, mix cake mix, triple sec & milk - Add in the oil, egg whites & food color (if you want it something other then white). – Mix with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes - Spoon batter evenly among 24 cupcake liners – Baker for 17 – 21 minutes.


Buttercream:
3 1/4 cup confectioners’ sugar
1 cup butter, softened
3 T Orange whipped cream vodka (no more then 4)
1t OJ  (optional)
Orange food coloring to your desired color


Beat the butter until it’s creamy - On low speed; add the powdered sugar until well blended - Add the vodka - Scoop out half the butter cream & then add in the coloring and juice - Turn mixer on high until blended – load into a pastry bag & pipe on to cooled cupcakes.


Tip- I laid the bag flat with a large spatula in the middle and I scooped in the white buttercream and then the orange so I would get a spiral effect.








I used a vanilla mousse for the filling
