May is my birthday month, and I want to celebrate with you by baking this Cara Cara orange mini bundt cake desserts.
Inspired in my mom’s recipe for citrus orange sponge cake I baked the Cara Cara orange minis. My mom loved this orange cake that had an exceptional orange glaze made with fresh orange peels and orange juice — baked in a classic ring cake pan that I still have after all these years. Looks like a big donut and it is a lot of fun using it for baking cakes.
Cake equals to sharing happiness.
Having cake and sharing it is a special gesture, especially if the cake has Cara Cara orange real juice!
There is a belief that when you eat cake and share it with others, you are also sharing happiness.
My mom loved hosting dessert parties with coffee and cake. And her favorite recipe was an orange sponge cake dessert that she taught me how to bake.
I am sure she would be proud be with my version that resulted in a delightful Cara Cara orange mini bundt cakes, covered with cream cheese frosting, and a fresh orange glaze — finished with beautiful edible flowers and dehydrated orange slices.
My mom’s special guests to the afternoon coffee and cake soirees included female friends and my aunts. I miss those days dearly. As having them visit was a happy time for everyone.
Especially on my birthday, everybody would come and eat cake with me. I miss having my family and friends from Mexico around and sharing a slice of homemade cake and a good cup of coffee with them.
Made it to the fifty plus and I am celebrating with Cara Cara Orange Mini Bundt Cake Desserts!
This year I accomplished another milestone. Reaching the fifty plus hasn’t been easy but in a positive note, I am grateful for what life has given me. I have survived difficult situations and all an all I am healthy.
That is why I want to celebrate and share my mini bundt cake desserts virtually with you all. Help me celebrate another year and pray for me and my future.
That is the best gift I could receive. Giving me the gift of hope and good omen, while enjoying the Cara Cara orange mini bundt cake desserts with me.
