I made these cupcakes gluten-free by using gluten-free flour and they turned out great! My friends couldn't tell the difference.

I'm not usually a fan of orange desserts, but these cupcakes changed my mind. The orange flavor is subtle and not overpowering.

These cupcakes were moist, fluffy and had the perfect amount of orange flavor. I loved the cream cheese frosting, it was tangy and creamy, and paired perfectly with the orange cupcake.

Golden Orange Cupcakes were a delightful burst of flavor! The orange zest and juice gave them a bright citrusy taste that was perfectly balanced by the sweetness of the cupcake.
