Orange-vanilla cupcakes

I have always wanted to make these because they reminded me of orange cream-sickles. But I had never candied anything before. When I candied these oranges took about 2 hours and I ruined about half of them. It was very stressful. But once I tasted them I knew it was worth it. I got creative and used the strips of the ones I crushed and folded the larger ones in half. It was most defiantly worth it, the next time i'm in the mood for a orange cream-sickle,  I know i can makes these even better!
