Beat with an electric mixer on low speed just until combined. Then, beat on medium speed for 2 minutes.
Fold in chopped cranberries and the orange zest. Put liners in muffin tins. Fill cups two-thirds of the way.

Cool completely and frost with cream cheese frosting.
It looks really pretty when you decorate the top of each cupcake with a few
Sugared Cranberries
.
Edible glitter from a cake decorating store sprinkled on top makes them sparkle.
So pretty!
Refrigerate cupcakes until ready to serve.

Notes
To make it easy, I use a food processor to chop the cranberries. Just pulse a couple times.
