Orange Pound Cake Cupcakes

I bought a recipe book entitled 'Cupcake Designs' priced at RM 12.00 from Bake With Yen in Bangi recently. There are 6 types of cupcake recipes. I tried the Pound Cake Cupcake recipe and it turned out very nice. I did some alteration to the actual recipe where I added 1 teaspoon of orang emulco to get the orange flavour.
