The glaze was a bit too sweet for my liking. I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

This cake was a bit too dry for my taste. I think I'll add some extra orange juice next time.

Not a fan of orange desserts, but this cake was surprisingly good. The orange flavor is subtle and not overpowering. I'll definitely be making this again.

This orange pound cake was a delight to bake. The aroma of oranges filled my kitchen as it baked, and the taste was just as wonderful. The cake was moist and fluffy, with a perfect balance of sweetness and tartness. I'll definitely be making this aga
