The color of the tangerines is beautiful on the frosting. Great recipe.

ReplyDeleteDo they sell Pixie tangerines there? They are the tangy, easy to peel, without annoying seeds, and only around for a limited time. Our household looks forward to their appearance every year.
ReplyDeleteI have baked with them, but now I think it would be better to just buy tangerine juice and eat the Pixies.
I love the look of the candied tangerines! Now I'm totally craving a cupcake.
