Though cupcakes haven’t traditionally been a Thanksgiving dessert in this country, I like to think Sprinkles has had a hand in changing that. Every November, Sprinkles offers its extraordinarily popular EAT box, which includes a variety of cupcakes—including these orange cranberry delights. The sweet, fresh flavor of orange, studded with tart cranberries (fresh and frozen work equally well), makes for a vibrant dessert as worthy of Thanksgiving as any pie.
