Eggless Orange Cupcakes with Whipped Cream Frosting and Orange Glaze

Cupcakes can have endless variations, though I don’t bake them very often, I love watching the colorful pictures of different flavoured cupcakes all over pinterest. One such picture which made me gaze for about 15 minutes was an orange flavoured cupcake by My Baking Addiction. The author of this blog Jamie has the best blog ever with some mind boggling pictures and being a dessert freak, I literally worship her blog. Anyway, the thing is that once I saw them, I had already decided in my mind that I have to make them, though mine were not as pretty as hers but yes, I came up with an eggless version as readers keep on insisting on it. These eggless orange cupcakes will for sure become your favourite and will make you orange-o-holic once you try them.
