Orange Peel Muffins and Cupcakes

Take a large (navel size) orange, and cut off a thin slice at the top. With a spoon, hollow out and eat the contents of the orange, leaving the peel intact. Using instant cake mix (gingerbread or lemon flavours taste good) or muffin mix, fill the inside of the orange about 2/3 full. Put the thin slice of orange that you cut off back on as a lid. Wrap the orange in foil, keeping the top side up. Then wrap it in wet newspaper, and another layer of foil. Toss it into the fire. Check the cake directions to see how long it should cook. The orange peel adds extra flavour to the cake, and it is great! The girls actually get two desserts--one is the orange, and the other is the cake.
