Cupcakes are one of the desserts that I love to bake during holidays. Not only do they look pretty, they are also the perfect creation to use my imagination and add all kinds of ingredients. Everyone in my family loves them so I try to make them whenever we get together. Since it’s also cranberry season, I decided to combine two of my favorite fruits to make these delicious orange cranberry cupcakes.
