The orange blossoms are blooming here in Florida.

Now I'm going to show you a simple way to get beautiful, swirled frosting.
Put the white frosting in one decorating bag, and the orange frosting in another.
Then snip the tips off the ends, and place both bags inside another decorating bag
with a coupler and large star tip (Wilton 1M) attached.
Twist the top of your decorating bag to close it, and hold the twisted part between your thumb and first finger. Squeeze the bag until you see both colors coming out.
Starting at the outside edge of your cupcake, make a spiral toward the center.
Done!
You really should go make these cupcakes right now...
