I bet you’ve never tried this combination. It’s amazing. Who ever thought about orange + dulce de leche? I think it’s great combo. …. Out of this world, incredible and unique. All my favorite flavors in one. If I can add chocolate on top I will be in heaven!

Last week I baked these orange cupcakes with dulce de leche buttercream for school fundraising. The raffle tickets were sold among children and the school board picked winners. The prizes were gorgeous cakes and cupcakes baked by parents. Each winner picked their favorite cake/cupcakes to bring home and share with their family. So fun!

I was so happy to bake something for our school. I spent half the day in the kitchen and I made two types of cupcakes. I will be posting the recipe for another yummy cupcakes this week. Last year I baked cookies for the competition and I won first place. OMG! I love baking and giving away baked treats. I am happy that I get compliments how pretty and how tasty they are. This makes my day!

So I was thinking for couple of days what should I make for school and then all of the sudden I got a great idea. Dulce the leche orange cupcakes are great! Cakey, citrusy and so delicious. The dulce the leche I found at Costco. I shop there often. The dulce de leche is so good. I can eat it straight from the jar.
