    yields 7-8 dozen

Ingredients

Cake

1 package yellow cake mix
One 3.4-ounce package instant lemon pudding mix
4 eggs
3/4 cup cold water
3/4 cup vegetable oil

Glaze

3 cups confectioners’ sugar
1/2 cup frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed
3 tablespoons melted butter
3 tablespoons water

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Grease one or two miniature muffin pans. For the cakes, in a mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, pudding mix, eggs, water, and oil, and beat well. Fill the prepared muffin pans, using about 1 tablespoon of batter for each cake. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the cakes spring back when touched.

    Step 2

    For the glaze, mix the confectioners’ sugar, orange juice, butter, and water until smooth; set aside.

    Step 3

    Dip the blossoms in the glaze immediately after removing them from the oven. Drain on waxed paper.
